For God chose to save us through our Lord Jesus Christ, not to pour out his anger on us. Christ died for us so that, whether we are dead or alive when he returns, we can live with him forever.He's not dead, Jesus is alive!

I wish more families could get a glimpse of what happens at camp, because each youth is surrounded by counselors whose goal it is to surround them each with God's love and their undivided attention. Tonight we experienced what they call Mime Worship. It is a very moving time where we watched the story of Jesus unfold through music and dramatic movement. It was an emotion-filled night, and we closed with worship through song. While we were singing, counselors and campers had the opportunity to pray one-on-one with each other, and lift up anything that may have been heavy on their hearts.
How often do we take the opportunity to pray with each other in such a genuine manner?
I have also had the blessing of being in fellowship with some great staff and members of other congregations represented this week. This morning, I even had the opportunity to share a devotional time with the camp staff. This is a powerful week for all of us, and I pray that the seeds planted this week will continue to flourish long after we leave this blessed place.
In His Peace,
Ashley
