Thank you Paducah First Christian for giving us your beautiful table from the Sunday School room. We look forward to sharing it with our guests and campers. And, thank you to Rev. Jamie Eubanks, Kerry Frazier, and Hugo Ramirez for delivering it to the campground. We appreciate you all--especially on this hot day.

HIGH SCHOOLERS, APPLY NOW TO WAYC!

The West Area Youth Council is growing! We’ve had two amazing back-to-back years of meeting and planning great youth retreats for the West Area. And some of our youth have gone on to serve on our Regional Youth Cabinet, too! Do you have some outstanding student leaders in your church?

The West Area Youth Council (WAYC) is seeking high school students who are active in their churches and have gifts for leadership to help plan and lead youth events for the 2026-27 school year. Candidates must be willing to attend organizational meetings, either virtually or in person, and special events planned by the WAYC.

The application deadline is July 31. An informational flyer and application may be found on the WAYC webpage. This year we also have an online application link available. Help us spread the word about this unique peer leadership opportunity.
