Countdown To SummerCamp!

Parents & Students,
We had a great group of students graduate this year. It was a bittersweet time as I pondered the fact that some of them will move to universities, some to community colleges, & some into other phases of life. I pray that they look to Jesus, apply God's Word to their lives, & stay involved in some sort of church/ministry that gives them a chance to glorify Jesus & grow in His likeness.

Camp is less than 20 days away!It is going to be an awesome time. Several of our neighboring churches, along with many other churches in the southeast, will be worshipping with us. The camp is totally full & we have all of our spots full too...this is why I start promoting camp in January. Thankfully everyone that wanted to go have spots. If anyone wants to go I'll put them on the waiting list in case a spot does open up.

We will be finishing up our "God Is" series this week. We have spent the last 8weeks studying some of the attributes of God & it has been a great time. I am continually reminded that students do want to know how to know God, apply His Word to their lives, and worship Him freely in spirit & in truth. It is not enough to expose them to religious behavior modification. They need heart transformation!

July is going to be packed! Below is the list of events. Be looking in your bullitin each week on Sunday for the specific details.

July 5-6: College & Career Rafting Trip on the Ocoee; Cost: $80 (one spot left)
July 10: Canoe Trip on the Buffalo; Cost: $20
July 17: MS Baptist Youth Night, Tupelo MS; Cost: $5
July 23-25: Mission Trip to Jackson MS (9th grade - adults/ Limited Spots; Cost: $60

Whew! There is a lot of chances to have fun, grow in the Lord, & show love to others this summer. Pray that this summer will be anointed by Jesus & we would see students, and their families, changed for the glory of Jesus Christ.

P.S. Below is a nice video pertaining to one of the topics we'll be studying at camp. It revolves aroung John 15. Go meditate on that chapter after watching the video. [Be sure to turn off the music on the left side of the blog so you can hear the video].

Thankful, SB
