One Busy Summer!

Parents and Students,
Its been a long time since my last post! The storms in April knocked out our system around the office and we are beginning to recover from it. This summer has been packed with activities and memorable moments. Plus there is still more to come!

Student Life Camp at Covenant College May 28-June 1st was a very special time for all that went. We did missions during the day which consisted of working in public parks in the city of Chattanooga, TN. The students lead in all sorts of activities as they ministered to children and their families. Activities such as bible studies, coloring pages, face paint, flag football, soap carving, and prayer walking were just some of the things the students participated in. One day we were able to hear several children make professions of faith! The camp, as a whole, was a great experience and hopefully a launching point into more mission oriented activities in our local community as well as global.

Our canoe trip in June was EPIC! A few rain showers just a days before our trip helped the water levels perfect so there wasn't a lot of "drag spots." Then, about midway through our trip, a storm came up will strong winds and heavy rain! We all took cover and waited it out. It was eventful to say the least! We all had a tremendous time and even had a few chances to stop and swim throughout our adventure.

July 16th, Lord willing, we will be going to Alabama Adventure in Birmingham, AL. The cost is $25 plus food expenses. Parents, you are more than welcome to go even if you are not one of our normal adult leaders. I always want trips like this to be family oriented so come on! Below is a little promotional video you can check out.

Be Blessed,
Shannon
