Fond Farewell

Judson Collins Director Takes New Post

After 10 years as Director of Judson Collins Center, Sarah Ratz has accepted a position as Camp Retreat Center Director at Beersheba Springs United Methodist Assembly in Tennessee beginning in early September.

“Sarah approached her role at Judson Collins with energy and a true passion for outdoor ministry. She will be missed,” said Rev. George Ayoub, Executive Director of Michigan Area United Methodist Camping. “We wish her well in her new endeavor.”
