Day 1 Jr High Adventure
Today 20 Jr High youth from Powell, Casper, Baggs, Douglas, Dubois, Basin, Laramie, and Glendo and staff gathered for the first day of camp. After a tour of the camp and getting settled, we played group games to get to know one another and divided up into two program groups--the Phenomenal Firecrackers and the 2nd Street Angels. We ended the evening with worship, which included a telling of the Parable of the Mustard Seed and wondering together about the kingdom of God together. We wondered, "where did the seed come from?" "who nurtured the seed?" "did the birds in the tree get along?" "why did the birds choose that tree to build their nests?" As we journey through the week we will wonder more about God's kingdom and what our contribution is to building that kingdom.
We sang a song based on the 121st Psalm (I lift my eyes up to the mountains, where does my help come from?). We will begin each morning with this song and a reading that challenges us to consider life in community.
Breathe deeply and take in all of God's wonders. HR camp is simply beautiful!
