Dear Bloys Members,                                                                                                                    June 28, 2026

 This year has flown by and here we are just a month away from the start of Bloys Campmeeting.  August 4, 2026, will mark the 136th year of Bloys.  It is a true blessing to be able to gather as friends and family to worship our Lord and Savior in one of the most beautiful places on Gods earth, Skillman Grove. I often wonder if the founding families and Rev. Bloys had any idea of the legacy they were building or the impact Bloys would have on so many generations to come.   

The Campground will be closed to everyone on Saturday August 1, for spraying. The first day to stay on the Campgrounds is Sunday August 2.

Bloys begins Tuesday August 4 with our first church service beginning at 8:00. Friday August 7 will be Youth Night at the Tabernacle. The annual business meeting will be on Saturday August 8, at 1:30 and the last church service will be Sunday August 9, at 8:00.

We have several new preachers this year and we look forward to hearing each one of them.

They are as follows:  

Clint Regen, Wimberly Presbyterian Church (9:00 Bible Study)

Jason Adams, Alamo Heights United Methodist Church, San Antonio

Taylor Sandlin, Sugar Land Baptist Church, Midland

Terry Thompson, Global Leadership Network Ministries, Montgomery

We are currently remodeling the Lounge public restroom, which is expected to be completed by the start of Bloys. This has been our only major project this year.

Additionally, we have installed three more water storage tanks. While this should improve our water supply for the year, please keep in mind that we must continue to be conservative with our water use on the campgrounds.

While donations are slightly down this year, we remain deeply appreciative of your continued generosity. Please remember that each cook shed and the operation of Bloys depend on your support.

My prayer for each of us this year at Bloys, is that we focus on the original intent of Rev. Bloys: to gather to hear our Lord’s word and worship together.

Psalm 111:1 “I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation.”

Warmly,

Adele West Coffey

President, Bloys Campmeeting Association
