SEPTEMBER CAMP!

September camp was at our meeting hall again this year. We all had a wonderful time, as usual :)
Friday
Camp started out with Russell Ross speaking at meeting Friday night. We were a little late so we didn't get to hear most of the message....
Matthew and Michael

We had snacks after meeting then some of us girls played a few games of Chinese ping-pong while some of the guys played volleyball.

Meg, Shelby, Keller, and Cameron

Jeff gave the message Saturday morning. His main point was "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!"     Psalm 107:2  He also went over his highlights and blessings from our Newfoundland trip.

Uncle Weyman spoke Sunday morning. He asked us all to imagine actually being at six events in the Bible and at each event he asked "what are you thinking?" and "what is important?" Imagining being there made it more real and it gave a very different perspective on each event.


Around three o'clock we had the annual girl's basketball game. 


Young people enjoying the last night of camp!

Bryan Roy gave some things Sunday night about realizing now how weak we are before the really difficult days come, and allowing God's strength to fully sustain us. Ky wasn't at meeting because her and her Mom went to see aunt Dorothy in the hospital. (We are glad that she is doing better now!)

Monday
Monday morning Tom spoke about "Our Purpose".

  2. Thanks for continuing this here blog. It was fun to see camp from another's perspective. And yes, it was an excellent camp minus the sickness stuff. Fortunately, we got by without too much. I think Paul had a touch of something but not too bad. The rest of us are fine so far. It's been a week so we're hoping it's all done. The kids and I had our fair share of it 2 December's ago. :(
