The Summer Sensation!

As we ended the last school assembly of the 2012-2013 school year in May, I took a deep breath and said "Ahh, Summer is here!"  Lazy days and long afternoons by the pool right?  Guess again.  God had bigger things planned for me this summer.   It started with an amazing Mission trip to Tyler, TX June 13-23 with 28 Middle school students.  We had Missionary training at Teen Mania and then we hit the local parks to do VBS in the mornings and spent the afternoons at the Salvation Army or The Local Food Bank.  Several Children came to know the Lord and our teens learned how to share the gospel & give their testimony!

We drove back to church on Sunday June 23 and I literally unloaded the luggage for our teens and then drove straight to Camp Placid to begin our children's camp for 3rd-6th grade and our day camp for 1st-3rd grade.  Our theme was Gold Rush... discovering the rock of ages.  Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also!  Several more children chose to follow Christ during this time and eight children were baptized in the pool at camp. We had amazing worship.  You could just feel the Spirit of the Lord  hovering in the air as we sang.    It was such a joyous occasion.  Camp ended with many happy memories and a few scrapes from the grass at the end of the slip n' slide:)

I was 16 days in a camp bunk bed either in Texas or Tennessee.  I was thankful for my bed when I crashed that first evening.We had a one week turn around to get camp supplies reorganized in the resource room and pull out the supplies for Worship Arts Camp which began today, July 8!  We are off to a fun week of art, dance, drama, music & science. Worship Arts Camp ends July 12 and 2 weeks later we will be back in the schools for our assemblies.  I can't wait to see all those smiling faces!

Lots of pictures are posted on my Facebook page.  Feel free to stalk them and tag yourselves.

Plenty of stuff happening this fall! Don't miss the fun!
