Sweet Reunions

Thought I'd share a few photos of the sweet reunions between parents and kids - after 5 days at camp it is amazing how good your mom looks! - But I think that goes for kids, too! The parents were equally as excited to see their kids. It was a fun site to witness!

Walkin' on Water

Just got in from a "find the counselors" hide and seek game. Earlier they played bonkers. Kids had to try to go to ten stations and complete tasks at each one. As they completed a task, they would get their hand or face marked. BUT they had to beware of the "bonkers" who were chasing them with socks filled with flour. If they got hit with the flour they had to stop until a "medic" came to heal them. You'll notice some photos of the "trophy" arms and faces.
Today the kids got to think about how Peter doubted the power of Jesus, even after He just fed 5,000 people. We never need to doubt His power - or His love for us. The evening worship was on the beach, and the counselors washed the feet of each camper. You could tell that the kids really understood that it was an act of love - there was a real sense of humility as they let the counselors serve them in this way. I wish I could post all of the pictures - I'll share them with you when we get back.

Jesus is Not a Hired Hand

Tuesday the kids focused on Jesus is our Good Shepherd. Not a hired hand. He loves us because we are His. Good stuff for kids this age. The rain actually held off most of the day, so lots of fun even on a cloudy day.

Firm Foundation

The week long theme at Camp Onomia is Jesus is our Firm Foundation - and todays worship and lessons were all around the story of the houses built on the sand or the rock. They are learning some great new songs and meeting some fun new friends. They just finished playing their favorite game - Eagle's Eggs - What a blast! Enjoy the photos - I'll try to post everyday! So check back!
