What does face paint, 500 water balloons, and eight made-up
countries have in common? Answer – Camp
Olympics! Campers spent the morning
competing in games like water-balloon toss, synchronized swimming, tug-o-war,
and discus toss. While the events were
designed to be fun, they also reminded campers of our response to God grace in
our lives.
After spending time talking about gathering as a community
and recognizing God’s grace and presence in our midst, we have talked about how
we respond to that grace. As we are
filled with God’s love, and peace, and healing, we are called to share that
with those around us. Campers put this
into practice through the Olympic games by encouraging each other, cooperating
together, and just having FUN!
Stay tuned as we look at how we can carry these practices
and rhythms into our life beyond camp!
