ANNUAL CHURCH CAMP:
Until COVID interrupted the normal activities of the church, approx 90 people would attend a three-day camp at Mannum during April. Members would travel by van or book a cabin, and activities were planned by the church members. Worship at the Mannum UC was often led by the campers, and some sharing occurred with local people. Consideration was given to reestablishing this activity in 2024 and 2025, but instead of a formal program, members have opted to share fellowship. Mannum is still the venue and many attend.
