Camp has gotten off to a wonderful start! After arriving to camp, putting our suitcases in our cabins, we quickly went to the pool for a swim. The kids loved diving in the cool water and going down the awesome water slide. Once we had a chance to cool down in the pool, it was time to go to our Opening Celebration. At the Opening Celebration we met the camp staff, played some silly games, and found out who our Bible Study Groups would be for the rest of the week.
During our first Bible Study session, we learned about the story from Luke 24:13-35. In this passage two of Jesus' disciples were heading to Emmaus three days after Jesus had died on the cross. As that were walking a man came up to them and began talking to them. Later that evening when the disciples and the stranger were sitting down for dinner the disciples realized that the man that had been walking with them was none other than Jesus. All day they had encountered Jesus and didn't even realize it.
Tonight at our first worship service our camp pastor, James, continued to talk about this story. He told us that Christ is all around us and there are many opportunities for us to encounter Christ, we just have to pay attention. He challenged us to think of ways we can encounter Christ while we're at camp and ways we can be like Christ so someone else can encounter Christ.
It's been a fun and exciting day. We are all not tucked into bed and falling asleep. (I actually hear someone snoring as I type this. I can't believe they fell asleep so quickly.) Below is a slide show of pictures from today. We hope you enjoy!
