Once the girls unpacked their things and got their bunk beds set up we headed to the pool for a short swim to escape the heat (and enjoy the AWESOME water slide!). The campers just got finished meeting their new Bible Study groups that they will be with each day and have a few minutes of down time before we have to get ready for our first worship session.
Today's theme is trust. In their Bible study groups they began talking about trusting each other and God and the things or worries that get in the way of letting go and fully trusting God. Our focus verse for the day is Matthew 6:34a "Don't worry about tomorrow. It will take care of itself." (CEV)
After worship tonight we will have our first night party. Tonight's party is the Toe Jam Rec Party! The kids will participate in fun, wet, and messy games. While some of the girls are worried about messing up their hair, most are excited for the fun times ahead!!
Our theme for the week is "Barefoot" based on the verse Romans 10:15b "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" Before we left for came we were instructed to take a picture of our feet doing something. Below is the picture that the girls came up with.
"We use our feet to serve God by Stepping Out on Faith!"
Stepping out on Faith - now where have I heard that before?
ReplyDeleteSo glad you guys made it safely. Hug everyone for me, especially one small Anderson. I'm reallly missing being with everyone there. Can't wait to hear all about it. Cathy
ReplyDeleteHaha, I actually forgot about it being one of the VBS themes until the girls reminded me. They came up with this picture on their own. I can't wait for the time when Olivia and Lila are old enough to come!
