Sometimes, it takes all we have to just take the next step but the glory and the light of the Lord is just over the mountain peak. So we must stay close and walk together.

Today was the Day I had been Waiting for
Today was the day I had been waiting for. My first introduction to the Feast at the beginning of the summer, I had been… warned… about what being at the Feast could entail. Each Saturday, I would show up midday, float around, worship, eat, leave. It was easy going. I liked the people I wasContinue reading “Today was the Day I had been Waiting for”

An Unconventional Easter
It’s Easter. We made it. It feels like Lent has been years long and unfortunately, it feels like Lent will continue on for an unforeseeable amount of time.

Call Statement
My name is Caroline Truelove Camp and I have been called to a life of ministry and service.
The United Methodist Church has raised me and I call it my home. Growing in faith at multiple Methodist churches across the Western North Carolina conference, I have had many experiences that have comforted me and also some that have challenged me. Vacation Bible School taught me that church is fun. Every level of church choir has taught me how to make a joyful noise. Every youth retreat taught me that friends in faith are sacred. Every mission trip was and is a mountain high experience. Now as an adult, God has tapped me on the shoulder and pressed on my heart to go into the field and embody Christ for others.
