Archers, Volleyballs and Fishers Oh My!

The campers arrived in their cabins and picked out their bunks. Counselors played games to get to know everyone's name and make sure everyone felt comfortable. Friendships began to form or reignite. A new week of summer camp at Camp Phillip began. The campers met by the "buttagizer" to play a game of Australian Kickball and then went down to the waterfront to watch their counselors make fools of themselves as they learned waterfront rules. Then the campers gathered for dinner, had free time to play soccer, bula ball or just chat. Eventually the campers made it to the nightly campfire to watch a skit of a Star Wars conventioner, played by Justin, share his screen play. Star Wars characters somehow ended up in Australia and ended with Yoda saving Princess Leia from Darth Maul.

Colossians 3:7 You used to walk in these ways, in the way you once lived.

The devotion for tonight focused on butterflies. When a butterfly goes into a cocoon, its stomach acids literally digest it from the inside out and then the bug transforms into a butterfly. In a similar way, the Holy Spirit creates faith in our hearts and transforms our lives so that we don't walk how we used to, in sin, but with Jesus our Savior.
