June 29, 2024 saw the Wrangell Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) out at Vank Island for Outdoor Church. It was a special sabbath, as not only our fellow members from Petersburg were there, but we got to visit with a special group of missionaries. For those who don't know for many years a group from White Salmon, WA and nearby areas have dedicated time to various building projects at the camp. Through the years they have worked on cabins, the bath house, the gym, and the lodge. The last several years they have been focused on the caretakers house. This year they got even closer to finishing as windows were put in, wiring/plumbing started, and the kitchen got a jump start. The current camp caretakers, James and April Eilertsen, are excited at the progress made.
This special sabbath we were able to fellowship together. The Sabbath School was about the end of Revelation and participate was good among the group. The Wrangell SDA church continued in a series they started called "The Miracles of Jesus (see sermon page)" which also allowed more participation from the congregation. The potluck was a delicious spread for either potato bar or haystacks. And the weather was delightful, so in the afternoon people could be seen talking or taking a walk on the lawn.
We want to say a special thanks to the White Salmon Missionary group for their dedication to camp. And for giving us an good excuse to have outdoor church at Vank Island!
