19 years of directing a wonderful christian camp. That’s what it has been this summer and I am as excited as ever about being there. How about you?
We are at Hidden Acres – 10 miles north of Ogden, Iowa. This is our second year there. The people are friendly. The activities are phenomenal and the food is outstanding. Plus we are less than half the cost we were at another location two years ago.
But each year there is something new and exciting. This year our theme is GCI or God-Created Identity. Who we are in God’s plan and scope. We will answer some creation vs evolution type of questions and totally use the Bible for our answers of course. I just finished our theme idea in a large painting and it has a hidden surprise [have to find out about it by being at camp]. Our worship is totally being selected by our head band guy, Matt and he has selected some really cool songs to sing. T-shirts are about ready to go to print and will have this years theme on it as well. With a another special message for Thursday night at camp. We of course are focusing on Jesus and the message he brings us through his life about being God’s children and the unique design we are through creation. Jesus further helps us identify ourselves as heirs of God’s Kingdom through his blood. This is the greatest opportunity to witness the love of God through Jesus and set that into the hearts of our young people.
We had a camper die this last year. We will be planting a tree in her memory and having a service to celebrate her eternal life. She gave her life to Jesus last summer at camp!
Camp cost is $175. The dates are July 26-31, 2009. If you have questions or would like to register contact me at sacredmessage@gmail.com. We would love to see our camp grow in faith and in numbers.
