The Annual Day Camp for ages 9-15 took place last week July 22-26 with 38 campers registered. Morning activities were at the church location. Brianna Small was Director, beginning each morning with songs, and, following the Bible classes, leading wide games in the churchyard.
By the numbers, 2 speakers, 4 junior leaders, 3 morning helpers, 4 full-day helpers, 9 snack providers, 15 skills leaders, 3 or 4 bus drivers, 2 Wed. hot lunch ladies, and others helped make the program happen.
Pastor Jeff Peacock gave a Bible lesson Monday on the Ten Commandments and King David. Friday he used a series of verses known as the Romans Road that teaches Salvation from sin. On the other 3 days, Abe Klassen used the Old Testament events of Noah’s Ark, Passover, and Red Sea Crossing to teach about Jesus.
Four afternoon field trips took campers to a Swan Lake area farm yard (Archery, Scavenger hunt, etc.), La Riviere (Canoeing), Stephenfield Park beach, Mary Jane Park (fishing, waterskiing).
Sunday morning July 28th Jamie Grenier did the opening announcements. Brianna and Jamie Small with Kevin Friesen were on the music team with Kevin Larson doing A-V support. Brianna gave notice of helpers needed for August events and thanked everyone who helped with Day Camp.
The songs for the day included “For God So Loved”, “What He’s Done”, “What Blessed Assurance” “The Heart of Worship”, “I Surrender All” and “Lord, I Need You”.
Abe Klassen filled in as usher. Pastor Jeff Peacock led the Prayer Focus.
Pastor Jeff Peacock read the Bible lesson from Galatians 6:1-5. In this final segment of Paul’s letter to the Christians in Galatia, instructions for dealing with wrongdoing call for gentleness in the correction given. The spiritually mature Christians are to be in step with the Holy Spirit. They are to seek restoration with humility and gentleness. They are to be introspective, and aware of their appetite for sin.
Battlefield wounds and scars need a gentle touch as “healthy people help hurting people become healthy”.
The worship service closed with Psalm 96:1-4 “… great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised”.
