Atop the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, at a cool elevation of 2,800 feet, the Roanoke, Virginia, Church members pitched their tents and folding chairs in Willis, Virginia, for a two-day church camp out, June 3-4, 2012. The weather was clear and temperatures crisp. Both the warm fellowship of spending time together and a constantly stoked campfire were very much appreciated by all.

David Mills, the local pastor, began the camp out with a Bible trivia game followed by a sermon about brotherly love.

Sunday, after enjoying a pancake breakfast, the members visited scenic Mabry Mill, located on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and enjoyed ice cream afterwards.

The members are grateful to Joe and Kelly Diamond, who graciously offered to host the camp out. Their home offered the perfect setting to enjoy the beauty of God’s creation, nestled in woodlands with two streams and a pond.

Brotherly love certainly enveloped this two-day event with the thought of “how good and how pleasant for brethren to dwell together.”
