Read | Fear of The Lord
To all of the summer staff, volunteers and parents and most importantly summer campers – thank you for an outstanding summer. It was so refreshing to host campers and hear the laughter and see the joy on their faces. There are few things in life that are more satisfying than gathering together after a long time apart. As we move into the fall let’s live by some advice written by King Soloman.
Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

Prayer Items
Here are three things that you can pray for. First, pray that parents would hold onto the things they have come to value over the last year-and-half such as a less hurried life and more family time. Parents will need to fight for these things in the midst of programs and school starting up.
Second, let’s pray for our summer staff who are going back to school and other jobs. They have done an excellent job this summer and made this a memorable one for so many campers. Some of their challenges are finding places to live, jobs, navigating the start of school life.
Finally, let’s pray for campers as they return to school and activities. Let’s pray that they find a good pace and that they will make wise decisions. Many are coming off a spiritual high as they made significant decisions. This fall and winter many of those decisions will be challenged as they are tempted to live differently.
Thanks again for praying for campers, summer staff and parents. Also, don’t forget to get your tickets for the Fundraising Dinner on September 11. Remember there is no ministry apart from Christ, pray with urgency and expectation. I will chat with you next week!
