Thank you again for all of the toys we received for Christmas is July. We delivered 4 bags of toys to the Women’s and Children’s Center of Hope last week to be given to children when they come into the facility. As school is starting, we are again collecting school supplies to be shared with the school next door and Rosa Parks Elementary School. Children are asked to bring a lot if supplies to school at the beginning of the school year, such as disinfectant wipes, tissues, hand sanitizers, single subject notebooks, #2 pencils, glue sticks, crayons (24 count), dry erase markers, index cards, pencil boxes, back packs, etc. This is our way of helping those who can’t afford them to have what they need to have a good start for the school year. All of your donations may be placed in the blue Outreach tub located in the narthex.

Grandparents Camp began at Camp Christian in 2006. It is designed to a child’s first experience of being at camp. It is for children who have completed first and second grade and a grandparent. (or special adult in their life) We include within our time together many traditional camp activities like folk dancing, campfire, and singing camp songs. Our theme each time is “Stories of Jesus” and we always include crafts, games, drama and rest time (for grandparents!). It is a fun time for everyone and a wonderful opportunity for grandparents to share their faith.
Grandparents Camp begins Friday evening at 7 PM and ends Saturday at 6 PM.

First time campers who may not be quite ready for a full week away, or campers looking for a shorter camp experience, can join us as we explore the holiest (and most exciting!) of our church holidays. Together, we’ll celebrate Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost in true camp style! We’ll dive into why, as faith-filled people, these celebrations mean so much more than our popular culture suggests.

The week culminates in an inspirational Consecration Service on Friday evening.
Each week the camps are blessed with outstanding Christian pastors and lay persons as Assistant Directors, Counselors (cabin, table, Quest Group) who engage with the campers in study, prayer, recreation, etc., befriending young people in a way that has an impact on their lives for good.
