This improvement of our hotel rooms is the economic next step to sustainability. We will also continue to improve youth, volunteer and cabin housing. This helps draw more new people to experience a closer walk with God here to grow revenue to survive and thrive. After that will come the Roger Williams Inn lobby, Veranda and Crystal Room and the rest of lakeside renovations that so magnetically draw people to Green Lake. And all of this is to grow program and the number of people having a life-changing closer walk with God. In the past few weeks, Northern Pines has had more than 1,200 coming to wonderful Christian family camps that, as well as the great family reunions that have come, build up marriages and multi-generational families.

anniversary celebration conference. On Wednesday we reunited. On Thursday we were re-created, with play and an afternoon cream tea in preparation for new Christian service. Today our theme is recommitment. You have a sheet at your place setting inviting you to recommit to serve God through the ministry of Green Lake Conference Center. You can do so through serving on the paid or volunteer staff, wholeheartedly and with humility. You serve by praying faithfully for God to do infinitely more than we dare hope or imagine for his glory. You can also invest financially to help transform the sleeping rooms or to give to our scholarship funds that enable many people to come and hear God’s call who would otherwise not be able to afford to do so.
