The Lodge on a lovely summer day! For those of us who live 'away'...we sometimes forget how beautiful the Camp really was until we see a picture like this. Remember seeing this mural above the Office door?

Welcome!! This month we're doing something truly special, but so very important to all of us. We're trying to save the Historic Eaton Lodge at the Bible Camp in Medora from being demolished and sold. Instead, if we are successful, it will be dismantled and rebuilt exactly the way it was originally on a beautiful piece of land in the Camp where we can all come to socialize, relax, meditate on the beauty around us and enjoy the peace of a unique place. So many years of "our" collective history from the Parish is in this Lodge, and we believe you will see what a special place it is to all of us, and why it's so important to work together to save it. This is the "Real" Old West, and we can keep it alive with our love and donations for our children and grandchildren. On the site you will be able to read about our process and also see pictures of our progress. I have the history of this lodge on the site and it may amaze you to find out who used this lodge for hunting, dining and dancing when it was part of the Eaton Ranch. Please take a minute to read that page so you can see how truly valuable this Lodge really is to our history. There are many pictures of the lodge on this site for you to see and enjoy.One of the most fun is the old Group photo, taken around 1945 or shortly after, of all the Churchwomen at the lodge. See if you can find yourself, mother or sister, or best friend in the photo!! It is a "large" picture, so give it plenty of time to load!!! Click on "Group Photo" in the link bar on the top of the page, then come back to this page and please donate to keep this wonderful lodge welcoming new generations of the faithful.

Please view our 30sec Video!!  Also on YouTube
Thanks to Wild Bill, Pastor Steve, the lovely Jo Ann Tangen and
Pastor Roger Dieterle for this great addition to the site!!
