Tuesday

Lots of activities at LCLC. Polar Bear swim, new games, and disc golf - the fun never stops!

~Rebecca

Camp is STILL fun(of course)! We went polar bearing this morning, which is getting up in the morning and swim at 6:55 in the morning. It is So Fun! I know I'm not a morning person, but this is an AWESOME way to wake up!

PS thank you so much for the package, Mrs. and Mr. Thompson! I'll be sure to return the books if you would like!

Waiting in the shade for small group time.

Pile of shoes representing a pile of sin.

Making one small change changes everything!

I had a whole post about our theme of sin and forgiveness and the Holy Spirit, but it disappeared before it got saved- oops!

 Be sure to ask Kevin, Meghan or Rebecca about each day's theme and the hands-on activities we did to illustrate the theme. 

In the meantime, you can read Psalm139 - we spent time reflecting on that and what it means....

God KNOWS us. Intimately. The good and the bad. 

139 ^1-6 God, investigate my life;
    get all the facts firsthand.
I’m an open book to you;
    even from a distance, you know what I’m thinking.
You know when I leave and when I get back;
    I’m never out of your sight.
You know everything I’m going to say
    before I start the first sentence.
I look behind me and you’re there,
    then up ahead and you’re there, too—
    your reassuring presence, coming and going.
This is too much, too wonderful—
    I can’t take it all in!

^7-12 Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your Spirit?
    to be out of your sight?
If I climb to the sky, you’re there!
    If I go underground, you’re there!
If I flew on morning’s wings
    to the far western horizon,
You’d find me in a minute—
    you’re already there waiting!
Then I said to myself, “Oh, he even sees me in the dark!
    At night I’m immersed in the light!”
It’s a fact: darkness isn’t dark to you;
    night and day, darkness and light, they’re all the same to you.

^13-16 Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
    you formed me in my mother’s womb.
I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking!
    Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
    I worship in adoration—what a creation!
You know me inside and out,
    you know every bone in my body;
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
    how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
    all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
The days of my life all prepared
    before I’d even lived one day.

^17-22 Your thoughts—how rare, how beautiful!
    God, I’ll never comprehend them!
I couldn’t even begin to count them—
    any more than I could count the sand of the sea.

We also talked about forgiveness, and what it means to be able to both give and receive forgiveness. Ask them about it!

PS - we had awesome water games tonight in an effort to beat the heat!
