Getting a High Five

I'm excited to announce that our 5th week of Sonshine camp is starting out with a bang! The kids enthusiastically cheered for songs, for favorite counselors, for old friends and because they just like cheering. The kids packed to Bulla Ball pit to take each other out. They played a classic game flipped upside down in Australian Kickball and received an old fashioned explanation of the waterfront rules that was anything but old. During Campfire, the staff treated the kids to skits about a high school dance, a nervous girl longing after a foreign exchange student from Australia and a kid who showed up in a Kangaroo costume.

And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

Jason had devotion tonight and used a story about a princess driven from home and waiting for her father to return. Just like that princess, we have to wait for our Heavenly Father to come back to us. In the mean time, we need to remember that God has given us the Holy Spirit to work in our hearts as we spread the joy of the risen Christ to others.
