Summer Has Arrived

Hey everyone! Summer is here and it is already hot. Now that you and I are both out of school. i have a bit more time to do some morning blogging. I will be doing my best to get out a blog update to you every monday that we are in town. Camp is next week so don't expect one next monday.
I felt like you saved the best for last with the way your ministry teams ministered to the congregation Sunday evening. I'm already getting excited about how next year's teams will be used to spread the good news of Christ and encourage his church. A big thank you to all of our team leaders and the effort you put into this year. Seems like only a week ago we were meeting in my house dreaming dreams. Dreams do come true because of you.
We leave for camp this sunday at 12:45. I'm ready. Are you? The week's theme is "Home". When you are with your Christian family, you are home. God has made a place for you in his house and we want everyone to discover the truth of this. So often we feel like strangers or visitors in God's house. We feel like we need to get out in the real world and have real experiences. We set out to make a name for ourselves. We find ourselves frustrated because the truth is that God already has experiences in store and a name for you. We have already arrived and don't realize it. In Christ, we're home.
