We are excited to share this special opportunity honoring the legacy of two beloved members of our Bethsaida family — the late Don Donald, longtime deacon, and Mary Charles Donald, our faithful pianist and active church member. ❤️

The 2026 Mary Charles & Don Donald History and Nature Camp will offer young people an unforgettable week of hands-on learning, Alabama history, outdoor exploration, and discovery in the heart of the Alabama Black Belt.

📍 Cornwallis 1828 – Western Lowndes County near Braggs, Alabama
📅 July 20–24, 2026
👦👧 For rising 5th & 6th graders
🎟 Limited to only 10 campers
💲 Tuition: $575 (includes meals & snacks)

Campers will explore over 5,200 acres of historic Black Belt landscape while learning about life from the 1500s through the Civil War through interactive lessons, architecture, craftsmanship, historic homes, and outdoor activities.

Activities are led by experienced instructors, including Demp Bell and staff, with a strong emphasis on hands-on learning, exploration, and fun.

This meaningful camp is a beautiful tribute to Don’s memory and to the love of history, learning, and community shared by Don and Mary Charles. What a wonderful way to inspire the next generation to appreciate Alabama’s rich heritage and the beauty of God’s creation.

Spots are very limited and expected to fill quickly! Contact Demp at [email protected] or 251-593-1770.

Such a wonderful afternoon at our second annual church ladies lunch date at The Pecan in Camden! 💐

A big thank you to Terri for organizing everything and helping make the day so special. Everyone had a great time filled with laughter, fellowship, and sweet conversation.

To make things even more fun, we shared a few conversation starters around the table 😉:
✨ What’s on your bucket list?
✨ If you could ask anyone a few questions, who would it be?

It was such a joy getting to know each other a little better and spending time together outside of church. We are already looking forward to next year! 💕

A wonderful glimpse into Bethsaida’s history. One of the photos even shows a wedding held at Bethsaida in 1911—a beautiful reminder of how long this church has been part of the lives of families in our community. We are proud that Bethsaida will be included on the Wilcox Historical Society Tour of Homes.
