(For those children who have completed K-3rd grade.)
What is your mission?? This summer we will have fun learning about the missions that God has set out for us, and we will do a small mission project each week to help us remember them. We want the kids to learn what it means to be loved by God, and how He wants us to show love to others and our world. Our hope is that each child will learn to truly appreciate the love that God shows us in our everyday life. Some people show love through words of affirmation, some through gifts, or acts of service, while others show their love through touch or quality time. We all express our love in different ways. Through out the summer as your kids bring home their many crafts and creations, (some not yet completely dry) remember that this is their way of showing their love for you! We believe that is it important for every child to feel loved and know that they are loved by God. We look forward to many fun adventures during this Summer Camp! Low beams may be small, but they are certainly mighty and capable of great things!!
“And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is Love.” 1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV)
