Sundays bring church services, the weekend to a close, and new campers to Camp Phillip. Today parents and caregivers blessed us with 23 wonderful third through fifth graders that we are excited to share zany memories mixed with the unchanging gospel with. The campers will be sharing the camp this week with 38 Jesus Cares campers. Jesus Cares campers are cognitively disabled adults who come up for a week of camp tailored just for them. The Son Shine campers have song period and a few other activities with the Jesus Cares campers and it is a joy to watch them sing songs of praise together. This unique week also includes the volunteer work of Pastor Christopher "Topher" Doerr from Grace Lutheran Church in Waupan, Wisconsin. Topher went to Camp Phillip as a child and worked here throughout his college days. People still talk about some of the crazy games and campfires that he came up with back then. This is certainly the start of a memorable week. :)
1 Corinthians 3:16, "Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?"
For the devotion tonight, David talked about how we fulfill certain roles for God as we are a part of his temple. Even though we might not feel like we have the most important role, we still serve God as he wants us to and that makes our work important. We may not be a pulpit but we can still let God's light shine through us like a window or hold others up in the word like a pew.
