According to the results of the Inventory of Missional Giving for 2010, churches in Missouri Union Presbytery gave over $300,000 to 181 different entities including various food pantries, children’s services, benevolence funds and community projects.  That’s almost $40 for every Presbyterian on the rolls in Missouri Union Presbytery!
But that’s not all, we also looked at volunteer service hours donated by members in the name of the church.  Presbyterians donated over 15,000 hours of service organizations and projects in the community.  That is like having 7 people working full-time 40-hour a week jobs doing mission work in Missouri Union Presbytery all year long!  That’s A LOT OF LABOR.  But it’s not just a labor…it’s a labor of LOVE.  It’s a labor for the LOVE of CHRIST.  When you look at the BIG Picture …there is an army of Presbyterians building the kingdom of GOD in Missouri Union Presbytery!    Note: There is a file embedded within this post, please visit this post to download the file.

Rob Hoell, from First Presbyterian Church in Fulton, has been named as Covenant Point Camp Director.  His degree in Parks, Recreation and Tourism, as well has his experience with being a part of a family business has prepared him well for this responsibility. Not letting the grass grow under his feet, he is starting today with this new endeavor.  Here is a note from him.

Hello fellow Presbyterians!

 I am super excited to be the next Camp Director for Covenant Point Camp and Retreat Center!  I am thankful to be able to serve YOU, the members of the Presbytery, and am looking forward to getting to visit and meet you in your churches and at camp.  The invitation is open for you to schedule and visit camp with your church or group, but I want to extend that invitation in reverse.  I want to come visit your congregations and share my enthusiasm for camp in person and get to know you!  Let me know if there is a good time for your congregation to “Meet the Camp Director” or I will be in contact to set something up in 2012.  I believe camp is a great place to get away from your everyday routine and connect with God.
God has been drawing me to camping ministry since my first camp and conference experiences as a senior high. I have been involved at Covenant Point off and on in the past: as a Senior High from First Presbyterian Church in Fulton up to my recent roles as Mom, Dad and Me Program Coordinator and Camp Committee Moderator.  I have various other camp experiences as well and even met my wife at a camp.  Our three girls, Avrie (6), Quinn (3), Ella (1), are very excited to be part of camp. I am ready to bring new ideas to Covenant Point and to be the new face of camp for the Presbytery. 
 
Thank you,
Rob Hoell
