• To raise an awareness, and perhaps a memory, of the John Knox Center and and the lives that are touched by this ministry.

• To express our gratitude and support for camps and conference centers of Presbyterian congregations, presbyteries, synods, and the General Assembly and for all the dedicated and talented people who work at them.

Talking about camps and their place in ministry is not limited to one day a year, but this Sunday is set aside so that we remember to recognize this particular ministry of our church.

We have prepared materials that may be helpful to you as you plan for Camp and Conference Ministry Sunday. Included you will find:

• Background Information
• Ideas for Special Events
• Worship Materials & Ideas
• Bulletin Insert
• Ways Your Congregation Can Use and Support Camps and Conference Centers
• Some Good Reasons for Your Congregation to Hold a Retreat or Event at the John Knox Center
