Today was the last of 3 camp days at Grace Church. They did an amazing job at this camp and I had a blast! I slid down a HUGE slip and slide, watched the kids do the zipline (it was a little too high and scary looking for me) and even got to play human Angry Birds...I was even able to knock down one pig!!!
We listen to a band every morning, watched performances from the big kids and did lots of crafts. The first day I made a chalk board, then I made a trash can and today I made a real life mini Angry Birds game!
I got to play with my friends...Sydney, Hadley and Alyssa and even made some new one's. I loved the camp and can't wait to see what they have in store for next year!
Here is what the camp posted on their website on the last day:
SBOjr 2012…it’s a wrap! ! iLive for Jesus, our theme for the day, was presented during all of our awesome activities. At the beginning of our final day, we all enjoyed jamming and praising God with our awesome Youth Garage Band.
Reminder – we’d love for you to join us as we sing two of our SBOjr songs this Saturday, June 9, during the 6pm service.
The last component of our Bible story was about David choosing to continue to live for God, even when circumstances were grim. King Saul decided to destroy David so David was forced to hide in the wilderness. Yet, even when given the perfect opportunity to destroy Saul (as he happens to use the bathroom in the very cave David is hiding!), David still chooses to live for God and lets Saul go. David trusted God to conquer his enemies and chose to live for him no matter what. God wants us to live for Him for all of our lives, too – in the good times and the bad (and there will be both). He will take care of us and deliver us, but it needs to be our lifelong, moment by moment choice to live for Jesus.
Here are some highlights of the rest of the morning. During craft, the kids each created a very popular game: Angry Birds! Outside at our life-sized apps, the kids rotated through to their final activity: they either slid down on our Human Plinko water slide, zipped along our zipline, or released an Angry Bird at one of our youth “pigs.”
We have the amazing opportunity to bless some less-fortunate kids downtown at Hope Faith Ministries by providing them with an SBO like ours. The extra change your kids have donated, and can continue to donate, will really help those kids! They can bring their donations to the Saturday performance as well.
We hope your kids have learned the true meaning of this year’s Summer Breakout – that God loves them and wants them to “app” His word to every aspect of their lives.
