Summer Camp! A week where memories are made and lives are changed. We took 52 children and adults to Camp Copass last week. We also had 19 TREK leaders there from CrossRidge Church leading activities. We had temperatures over 100 every single day. We sweated, we swam, we fished, we made crafts and we played games. We had so much fun at the carnival, we ate a lot of candy and snacks, we stayed up late and we watched fireworks. We laughed, cried and sweated together. We even had a fashion show. We worshipped, prayed and studied the Bible with over 800 other campers. We had 3 of our own campers accept Jesus as the Lord of their lives and one that rededicated their life to Him. Eternity was changed forever.
Last week was such an amazing week, but there is still work to be done. Our children still need Jesus. School will be starting soon and schedules will be changing. Sports will start back up and calendars will be filling up. There will be weeks when you don’t know how everything will get done and you feel like there are not enough days in the week. As the busyness starts, remember that your children need Jesus. They need to be in church with like-minded friends learning about Jesus each Sunday. You need to be in church each week with others that will encourage you and point you to Jesus. Many seeds were planted at camp last week, but there’s still work to be done. Let’s dig in and work together. Let’s take charge and build God’s Kingdom together. Eternity is at stake and we all need Jesus.
