Camp

Summer camp is one of the highlights of the year for anyone in 3rd -12th grade and we believe it will be a life-changing experience for everyone who attends.  Kids Camp (3rd-5th) is June 18-22, Jr High Camp (6th-8th) is July 9-13, and Sr High Camp (9th-12th) is July 23-27.

The deadline to register for Kid’s Camp is May 20th.  The church has recently decided to cover transportation costs in order to offer Kid’s Camp at the base cost of $205.  After May 20th, the cost increases to $245.  Parents also have the option of pre-ordering a camp t-shirt for $12 and dvd for $10.  Turn in forms and money to Pastor Charity.

The deadline to register for Jr High Camp is June 10th to get in at the $199 price.  After June 10th, the cost of camp increases to $239.  The deadline for Sr High Camp is June 26th.  Turn in forms and money to Pastor Matt.

ReMIND

It is a curious blessing to grow our intelligence. The concept of being able to learn is an outrageous gift that sets the human brain far above the abilities endowed to other creatures. We adopt pets and we see how smart some animals can be; we teach them tricks and we are entertained. We study the elements of God’s intensely complex creation and we discover microscopic components that perform consistently accurate actions as they are designed to do. But humans can take in new knowledge, and process it, and get smarter.

We consider ourselves as “fearfully and wonderfully made” and “made in the image of God.” wow. We have the capacity to think, to reason, to choose. So when we read scriptures that tell us about the “REnewing of your MIND,” we know it is God’s direction to REMIND us of His truth, to incorporate His wisdom in our thought processes. It is a divine gift.

REnew your MIND today, and every day, as you read the Word for intelligent insights that grow your brainpower. Get smart. Let the Holy Spirit REMIND you of what Jesus taught, and learn from Him.

It is a curious blessing, the REnewing of your MIND.
