Day 3 - Thursday Early Evening

When we came back from the river we had some free time, followed by dinner.  For dinner we had BBQ chicken, mashed potatoes, salad, corn on the cob, and garlic biscuits.  After dinner we headed to Victory Circle for our evening session.  We enjoyed a lot of fun singing! Our teaching from Paul was “We Reach Out.”  This was our final teaching of the series, which took us through an entire gospel presentation:

•   God is the Creator of Everyone and Everything
• We Sin
•  God Provides
• Jesus Rescues
• We Reach Out

The kids had an opportunity to reach out for a lifesafer candy, as on demonstration of how God has offered us the gift of salvation, and we must reach out to receive it.

Here are some pictures from our large group time tonight:

Day 3 - Thursday Afternoon

After lunch we headed to the river for some cooling off.   Here are some pictures from today’s trip to the river:

Day 3 - Thursday Morning

This morning before breakfast was a great time to enjoy the swing:

We started our morning session with some fun songs and continued to work on our camp songs, which we’ll be leading for the church on Sunday at the 9:00 and 11:00 Services.  We added some hand motions today. Here are some pictures from our morning session:

Our teaching this morning emphasized that Jesus Rescues and He is MY Rescue. -That all the struggles we have and sin in our life, Jesus rescues us from that, like a lifeguard rescues someone who’s drowning. After the teaching, the kids wrote down on post-it notes a few things they are struggling with right now; sins in their lives.  Then they got to come down and put them on the cross and be given a name tag that says “JESUS MY RESCUE,” so that they can know that they’re their hope is in Christ, who rescues us!  The last pictures show the cross filled up with all the post-its.
