Low Beams 2012
(K-3rd Grades)
What is your plan?? With the 2012 Olympics on it's way, we are looking forward to a Gold Medal Summer! We all have hopes and dreams of what we want to be or do when we "grow up". It's great to have OUR plans, but we always need to remember that God is the ultimate plan maker, and He calls the shots! We are to use the gifts He has given us in whatever career path we choose. This summer we will be exploring a variety of occupational choices that might just spur on the interests of our young entrepreneurs. 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!
"For I know the Plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
