At the Mississippi CFO in 1961, Genevieve Parkhurst tells campers to look for God in ordinary snapshots. She points to a tired father, a devoted mother, and four army chaplains who give up their life jackets on a sinking troop ship. These are small close-up pictures of his sacrificial love.
At the Mississippi CFO in 1961, Genevieve Parkhurst retells the gospel story of a woman who touches Jesus in a crowd and is called “daughter.” She uses that image in a talk on healing, where she tells of an army veteran and a pregnant mother, both healed after taking Holy Communion.
Genevieve Parkhurst takes the middle of the camp for what Glenn Clark used to call a period of relaxation, and spends it on seeing God in what he made. This comes from the 1961 Mississippi CFO. A sunflower that would not stand still for her, and Elijah’s four hundred who had not bowed the knee, are where she goes with it.

Bill Reed calls the church at the 1961 Mississippi CFO to shed anemic tradition, and to receive the transforming power of the Holy Spirit for the crisis of the day. Along the way there is a young man in the dining hall who was not singing, an ordination that same afternoon, and a clap of thunder during prayer.
