Scripture: 2nd Corinthians 10:15 (the Message)
We’re not barging in on the rightful work of others, interfering with their ministries, demanding a place in the sun with them. What we’re hoping for is that as your lives grow in faith, you’ll play a part within our expanding work.
Thought for the Day: Yesterday, I dropped off my son at church camp. He joined three other young people from Cypress Creek Christian Church at the Disciples of Christ camp ground near Gonzalez, Texas. I must confess the amazing memories I have of church camp from when I was a young person, but it is always important that a father not attempt to impose his experiences upon his child. With that said, I pray that Zach will grow in his faith and experience a richer relationship with the living God. This will happen, not only for him, but for all the young people because there are volunteer counselors and other camp staff who give graciously of their time and skills to make it happen. We are not only helping form young Christians, but we are helping to build the structure of tomorrow’s church. Church camp is not the only means for creating a strong church, but it is one of the most effective…one that is getting lost among the many other summer activities. For the sake of the church and its future leadership, let’s do what we can to make sure as many young people have an experience at the camp ground near Gonzalez or wherever they live.
Prayer: We give you thanks, Lord, for all those who have given of themselves to shape the lives of young people in the church camp experience. May your spirit dwell more deeply within the hearts of children and youth who spend time meeting with you in the great outdoors. Amen.
