Narnia – Hope abounds within us!



          This is a week unlike any other in the world now known as Camp Narnia! Besides VBS my most favorite week of the year is my being present here at camp. For someone who as a child could never go to camp this is my chance to have that experience through your children. Thank you for that!
          Because I am a visual learner there has to be visual props …. Lots of them! The Beaver Dam, the Stone Table, the Wardrobe, trees covered in snow to hold up the rafters and not to be missed many, many snowflakes!  It looked like a winter wonderland. But wait ….  Winter finally melts as Aslan comes near, the Pevensie children realize that they are part of the prophesy in Narnia, only to reveal spring! The snow covered trees become green and fruitful, the snow is replaced with hills, grass, sunshine and many of God’s creatures.
          Last night we watched the remainder of the movie Narnia along with our sleeping bags and pillows.  It was a wonderful night for the movie with the full moon’s light streaming through the open doors of the Activities building. Then we headed off to a wonderful service in the chapel of Michael J. Talbot music, prayers, and a story written and read by Father Chuck Woehler about “Lunch with God”. 

More news to follow on Friday’s edition of Narnia – Hope abounds within us.

Blessings
