What a blessed first week of Remnant Fellowship camp!! It was so sweet to spend time with your boys, and I feel extremely blessed to be part of this summer program! Here is recap of our week!!
We were very blessed to have Mrs. Gwen come each morning and charge us all with a devotional. On Monday she shared with us to have a relationship with God and secondly love all of our brothers and sisters in Christ and get to know them better. We put this into practice by playing several name games on our team! She also charged us to have one foot in heaven and the other on earth making ourselves a bridge to help others into God’s Kingdom. After our devo we went outside to enjoy a beautiful sunny day! (lots of sunscreen) We had lunch and a sweet hour of quiet time with God after which we shared blessings and answered prayers. Then we put on more sunscreen and headed outside for water play! The boys had a blast on the slip and slide and playing in the pools! We had snack and ended our day with a time sharing how we saw others applying the characteristics of Christ during the day!
On Tuesday we had the opportunity to take a walk back to the garden and see all that was growing, as well as help weed!
We then had arts and crafts followed by lunch. During quiet time we were given our workbooks which kept us charged for the rest of the day! In the afternoon we had water play and our sharing time. On Wednesday we were charged during our morning devo with Mrs. Gwen to slow down. She said we should ask God to go to Heaven and pray to enter His Kingdom. Ask and you will receive; knock and the door will be opened. (Matthew 7) Mr. Michael and Mr. David also came and led the campers in worship to our Heavenly Father!
After our devo Chris Howard gave the boys a lesson in gymnastics, and then the Abelt family came and brought some of their dogs for us to see. They gave us a lesson on God’s creatures and let the boys see and pet the animals.
During quiet time we watched week one of Weigh Down Basics and talked about the triangle. The afternoon was full of outdoor play, and at the end of the day we gathered up again to share blessings!
On Thursday during our charge from Mrs. Gwen we learned that obedience is love and that obeying is just acting out our love for God and our authorities. We had praise and worship led by Mr. Michael and Mr. David, and then we played outside until arts and crafts. We had lunch and then headed in for quiet time where we did our workbooks and read from the Bible. We then had our afternoon full of water play and the sweet blessing of ice cream and a brownie for snack! It an over the top blessed week! We thank you so much for your prayers, and praise God for everything he has allowed us to do already!!
A few notes regarding next week:
Your child was sent home with his towel and swimsuit on Thursday; please wash them and then return them on Monday for water play. The boys were also sent home with their workbook. Mrs. Gwen asked the parents to take time this weekend to go over that with your child and see how they are growing in their relationship with God, and then send it back to camp on Monday so we can continue working in it. Please also remember to put your child’s name on everything they take to camp! Thank you for allowing us to take care of your children this summer! If you need anything please let us know!! We are only a text or phone call away!
Love, Allyson & Jessica
