SUMMER. The season of sending.
SITTING VS SERVING
You'll start to notice more empty seats in the sanctuary. We're ok with that, here's why-
Your kids are trading sitting for serving. They are heading out on mission trips, camps, internships, and Christian leadership training. Cheyenne, Ethan, EJ, Julia, Lizzy, Luke, and Skylar are at High Point Camp. Austin has been working there since LAST YEAR! When you see the empty seats-pray for the ones we've sent, pray for the ones that will fill the seats.
*Look for student updates from High Point Camp at the bottom of the page.
THREE MORE SEATS
On Monday we send THREE MORE students! Dez, Eli, and Maddie will be gone for three weeks for the Equip Leadership Training at High Point Camp.
ALL THE CAMPERS
In July we send campers up to High Point for three weeks in a row (high school week, middle school week, and elementary week) and we'll send Pastor Tim as the middle school camp speaker!
THIRTY-SIX MORE SEATS
In August we send a team to Kentucky. This mission team is partnering with Youth for Christ to help in flood and tornado-damaged communities. You've raised $10,145.00 in support of this trip!
Thank you for being a church that values "sending out".
Student Update from HPCAMP via Skylar (in pink)
Hello church family!! It has been about a week & a half since we started training at High Point Camp. Day camp started on Monday & it has been so cool to reconnect with my campers from last summer but also super cool to see Lizzy, Cheyenne, and Julia connect with campers & start their summer off strong! They are already racking up fun stories & memories with their campers & it's just the beginning! Luke has been killing it in the kitchen, learning lots & making friends along the way! We have had lots of learning sessions from what camp is about, to sharing the gospel, to how to help homesick campers. I have learned so much in such a short week & I am eager for the rest of the summer. Thank you for your continued prayer over Lizzy, Cheyenne, Julia, Austin, Ethan, EJ, Luke, myself, & the rest of the staff!!
Letters are always encouraging & great to receive from home, feel free to write us anytime!!
