We were very excited to be able to go to Sneedville this summer, although it was with some restrictions due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns.

This was the 29^th year that our church has been going to Sneedville. The owner of Camp Jubilee where we have been so fortunate to stay all this time has suffered a stroke. As we pray for his recovery, he has not been able to use his right side and therefore, the camp was in need of our assistance. Our Construction Team was stationed at the camp this summer to help with repairs and cleanup of the camp.  This also helped us limit community COVID exposure.

Members of our team visited  the Hancock Manor Nursing Home in December, where we were able to deliver gifts to each of the residents along with sharing a meal with them. We continued our relationship with the Nursing Home this summer asone of our ministry areas.  The nursing home residents and staff are 98% vaccinated.

Our Ladies Group has a strong relationship with us. We met with the ladies this summer during the week.

Backyard Bible (vacation Bible camp for children) is one area of ministry that those on the trip along with the children in the community find so very rewarding. The Health Department in Sneedville asked us not to have Backyard Bible this summer due to health and safety issues for all of those involved. We put together boxes of activities, games and hygiene items that were delivered to their homes when we were there. There will also be an online component during the week for those children who have internet access.

For 2023, we expect to be in full swing again with our mission trip to Sneedville.  Look for opportunities to sign up around the end of 2022.
