VBS & YOUTH CAMP

VBS ended on a great note last night. The children were given their certificate and also other awards were given out. Chelsey and Tristen tied for bringing the most to VBS and Brandon received the award for the being the most involved and attentive. Sisters Donna and Delilah did a great job of Directing and the rest of the staff did great as well. Brother Stanley came and videoed the celebration. Overall it was a great VBS and we pray that the children will remember the principles that were taught and most of all will know and learn more of the STAR of Game Day Central - Jesus Christ. Discussion of plans for next year have already begun among the staff.

Youth Camp is well underway at Camp Hickory Hills in Dickson County. Below are pictures of some of the youth along with the five that are being taken to camp today. Karen and I, along with the folks here, are diligent promoters of church youth camp. Karen and I worked in camp for years. We both attended several years as campers when we were young. My first year at Youth Camp was at the original site of Camp Hickory Hills in Madison, TN back in the late 50's. The boys slept in a huge tent, in army cots, on the side of the hill behind the tabernacle and what is now the property of Cornerstone Church. The floor was covered with wood chips and one night when it rained, we thought we were going to be flooded out. That was camping in those days.

Thank the Lord for youth and children who need our love, protection and ministry.
