Celebrating Lamar Blackburn’s Retirement – 38 Years of Faithful Service

After 38 incredible years of dedication, service, and love, we celebrate the retirement of Lamar Blackburn, longtime manager of Masterpiece Gardens.

Lamar has been the heart and hands of this ministry—from cooking meals in the kitchen to fixing broken pipes, cleaning dorms, greeting guests, and everything in between. He has served not just with his hands, but with a servant’s heart, always putting others before himself and reflecting the love of Christ in everything he did.

Masterpiece Gardens would not be the place it is today without Lamar’s unwavering commitment. Generations of campers, staff, and families have been blessed by his presence, hard work, and quiet leadership.

Thank you, Lamar, for 38 years of faithfulness. Your legacy will live on in every corner of this camp, and most of all, in the lives you’ve touched.

Well done, good and faithful servant!!
