Off to Camp

Tomorrow I leave for a week of junior high camp at Camp Adventure. It's always a great week. This year, I'm sad because Emily won't be with me. Bummer. But, I know that God will do some amazing things throughout the week in the lives of the campers, staff, counselors, and directors.

Our theme is "Image." We'll be talking about who we are, who God is, who we are in Christ, and how to live in and through Christ. It should be incredible. I'm speaking on the first night about our freedom in Christ and how that leads us to talk about our image. Then, I'll talk again on commitment night, communion night, and at our celebration service. I'm looking forward to all of them. On commitment night, we're going to have 250 candles in the front of the worship room. The campers will be sent outside to pray...basically a prayer of confession/repentance. When they come back inside, they will light a candle to represent the darkness of their sin being changed into light as God forgives us. Then on communion night, all of the candles will be lit as they come into the service. We'll see how it goes.

Needless to say, I probably won't be posting much next week...maybe not at all. My posting has been sporadic as of late due to camp preparations. So, if you're the praying type, pray for our camp!
