The Legend: Part 2

Hello Friends,


Today offered the conclusion of The Legend, the daily camp schedule and campfires for the week. Fridays are sad because the kids and counselors all know, "this is the last time we'll..." But they are also a blast because everyone knows the week is almost to and end and wants to end on a high note. The kids have established good relationships with each other and the last day is kind of a victory lap of great week at camp. Things that stood out today were cabins using free time to play fun, silly games together or nap. The Legend: Part 2 featured the campers essentially playing capture the flag but certain counselors were the flags and the campers had to work together to wrangle them back in. The Cold team carried in two counselors to the Hot team's one which made up for their poor showing the day before. The standings are one to one. I guess the camper's will just have to come back next year for the tie breaker =)


Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 


Password featured Molly comparing the dedication Olympic athletes give to their sports with what it would mean for us to live as sacrifices to God. Normally, a sacrifice would be a one time thing.  A living sacrifice requires a lifetime of dedication. For Praise and Worship Campfire, some of the staff members wrote their own personal definitions for words such as guilt, Savior, rescue and others. The campers wrote ways they could serve God at home and then staff members also read those between songs.  Thanks for a great week everyone!
