Havre Church Holds Annual Campout

By Leo Beardsley, Leo Beardsley, October 06, 2015

The Havre Church held its annual campout July 17–19 in beautiful Beaver Creek Park in the Bear Paw Mountains south of Havre. The unsettled weather Friday gave way to gorgeous sunshine and comfortable temperatures for the rest of the weekend. 

Clarence and Reneé McKey, a retired pastoral couple from Great Falls, joined the group for the weekend. Clarence preached the sermon on Sabbath, and Leo Beardsley led the study of the Sabbath School lesson. Several visitors attended. The food was wonderful and abundant and the environment inspirational. Somehow God’s second book of nature lends emphasis and meaning to His first Book like nothing else. The campout is a highlight of the year for this group and provides time for fellowship that is so strengthening. It is a blessing to live surrounded by the beauty of God’s handiwork.
