October Camp!

All of us rode with Jody and Linda up to camp on Thursday afternoon. Back row: Linda, Jody, Victoria  Middle row: Naomi, Jean, Me  Front row: Caitlin, Susie, Margarita, Hannah   Not pictured: Stephanie and Jennifer

We got there Thursday night around 8 and sang, played games, and talked until they turned the lights out. 

Friday morning

Friday morning, instead of a regular meeting we all gathered in the dining hall (it was too cold to sit outside) and we had an informal kind of meeting. We read Philippians 3 and 4. Different guys volunteered and read five verses at a time. At the end of each chapter anyone could make a comment or ask questions which lead to a group discussion. It was very interesting and fun, as well a different than normal.

For pretty much the rest of the day we played volley ball or cards. Some went on the hike up to the caves.

Friday night Franco Cook spoke about our works. Not works like some people believe good works will get you to heaven, but the good works Christians should be doing. Ephesians 2:8-10 It was a more normal meeting but Franco likes to have us talk to our neighbor and discuss certain questions, so in the sense of interaction, it was a little different. Having us talk like that and hearing others answers and ideas helped a lot. He also had all the young guys and the girls read verses out loud. After meeting we had snacks, of course, and played more cards and talked.

Saturday morning we had the same style of meeting as the previous morning. We went over Colossians 3 and 4. Michael Lundy kind of lead it and he asked us to be thinking of these questions while we read: 1. What do I learn about God? 2. What do I learn about my responsibility toward others? 3. What is one thought I can take away from this? It was a really interesting meeting too.

During the day we played more volleyball (some pretty intense games) and frisby football and took more hikes. It was so nice to be outside all day!

We played the annual "last-day-of-camp" frisby football game then everyone started leaving.

A few of us stayed until Monday. Total there were about 30 people. After dinner, around 8:00, we started singing around the piano and we didn't stop till 10:30!

After singing, we went on a walk.

Monday morning we had another bible study over 1 Peter 4 and 5.

One last game of volleyball...
