The drive to construct a new dining hall at Lazy F continues to build momentum! A\u00a0ground breaking celebration will be held Sunday, May 7th beginning at 2:00 p.m.<\/strong>\u00a0There will be a ceremony including a blessing of the space, update on progress, and the obligatory shovel routine. After the ceremony we will share a meal. All are welcome!<\/strong><\/p>\n

More Great News<\/h4>\n

\"\"In February, Lazy F received notification of a $100,000 grant from the Murdock Charitable Trust in Vancouver. This will be a “top off” grant meaning this will be the last $100,000 as the fundraising goal of $1.75 million is reached. The current totals are just over $1.4 million, so an additional $250,000 is needed to receive this grant.<\/p>\n

Currently we are reaching out to United Methodist Churches in our conference to pitch in to reach this goal. What if 35 of our churches were able to pledge $1,000 per year for the next 3 years? This would be over $100,000 getting us much closer to our goal.<\/p>\n

Why this Matters<\/h4>\n

Lazy F is a crucial part of the ministry of our Pacific Northwest Annual Conference. Every summer we serve our children, youth, and grandparents as they grow in faith. Several times each year we serve our Hispanic ministries for a gathering in Christian community. Each year, a variety of churches gather as families to grow closer in Christ.\u00a0 Many times throughout the year organizations within our Conference gather at Lazy F to fulfill and further the mission of the United Methodist Church.<\/p>\n

We hope you will be able to join us for the ground breaking on Sunday, May 7th and we ask for your church’s involvement to further improve the ministry that happens here.<\/p>\n

Please contact the Lazy F Camp and Retreat Center at 509-962-2780 or director@lazyfcamp.org<\/a> for additional information. You can also visit our website to learn more about the\u00a0Place at the Table<\/a>\u00a0campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
