Hello everyone, as I'm sure you all know, it has been a LONG SUMMER. Camps, fireworks booth, sickness (not fun), day trips, youth group, food, graduation, etc. The crazy part of the whole thing, I wouldn't want it any other way. I LOVE IT!!!! Summer was amazing, I got to see the students grow closer to God and closer together as a group. I want to just take a second to point out some of the highlights that this summer had to offer.
CIY Move
Move always impacts our students and this year was more of the same. We had awesome speakers, inspiring worship, and ample hangout time (which is very important). The students never cease to amaze me, I have a heck of a time getting them to come to church at 9:30AM on Sundays but at summer camp they stay up til 3:30 AM and are up for breakfast at 7:30AM, what's that about? I guess it is all part of the camp high, I gotta say, it just about killed me. I thought I didn't get a lot of sleep have a young baby around, that was nothing compared to this. I was very proud of our students, they were challenged throughout the week and they responded to those challenges. You could really see God turning the wheels in their hearts and in their heads. I'm excited to see what fruit comes from the experiences of that week. The students all came home with a Kingdom Worker Card, these cards are challenges from CIY that go beyond the week of camp. Keep the students in your prayers as they attempt to complete their cards.
Frontier Ranch
This was a first for us at FCC, a camp just for Jr. High. I know what you're thinking, "sounds scary" but I gotta tell you, it was AWESOME!!! The kids had an amazing time: age focused worship, crazy activities, fun in the sun, God's word brought in a way they could really understand. This camp was a major WIN for our youth ministry. I am so excited for next year and I know the students that went feel the same way. This camp offered things that I had never seen offered at another camp. What an experience, I know that hearts were moved and that the students returned tired, yet eager to serve. Can't wait for next year!!!
Well that is a recap of some of the fun we had this summer, here is a look forward into the early part of the school year. Oh and again, thank you for allowing your kid to be a part of FCC Student Ministry. Bye for now
