Ladies' Ministries on the Camp Ground

During Youth Camps and Camp Meeting, Ladies Ministries operates Afterthoughts and More and the Sno Cone Stand located on the Camp Grounds. Afterthoughts and More sell things forgotten such as toiletries, hair spray, shampoo, as well as things never thought of such as small toys and gift items. Some items are donated by the churches in Oklahoma. These incomes help support the Oklahoma Ladies Ministries with projects on the campground.

During Camp Meeting, Ladies Ministries is also responsible for organizing the work schedule for crews to cook, clean, and work in the Sno Cone Stand and Afterthoughts and More. Each Sectional Ladies Ministries President and Secretary is responsible to oversee their section's assigned work day. This includes coordinating with the churches in their Section to have an adequate number of workers, and organizing the work crews on their assigned day.

Camp Ground Maintenance Fund

In January of each year, Oklahoma churches are asked for contributions for the Camp Ground Maintenance Fund. These funds are used for maintenance and upkeep in various areas of the Camp Ground. Many projects have been supported by these funds over the years.

Ladies Ministries and Home Missions

The Oklahoma District Ladies Ministries will provide $350 per week to assist with the cost of a 2-week revival for any church considered in Home Missions status. For more information and additional guidelines, contact the Oklahoma District Ladies Ministries President.

Ladies Ministries and Oklahoma Youth Scholarship
