Let’s go to CAMP!!!

June 2, 2010

Although the weather seems to be a bit confused, the fact of the matter is that SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE!  As we look forward to the end of the school year and the opportunity for travel and vacations, it’s also “high time” that we started to get ready for summer camp.  If you are reading this article and you aren’t a participant in our youth ministry program and you don’t have a child in our program - GOD BLESS YOU!  If that’s you, I would ask that you pray for the more than 50 children from this congregation who will spend a week at camp this summer.  We are praying that God will grab a hold of their lives and they will return to the friends and family with a new sense of purpose and a new passion for their faith and for “extending hope in Jesus.”

If you are going to camp with us this summer or if you’re a parent of a child who will be going to camp with us this summer, then please keep reading.  We have a lot of paperwork and information that you need to receive.  You can access some of it through the links below, but we would also request that every camper and/or their parent attend a meeting this Sunday, June 6 between services (1015-1045AM) in the Conference Room here at Hope.  At that time, we will have all of the forms, paperwork, billing info, etc.  If you’d like to get a head start on some of the paperwork or get information now, you can click the links below.  We have kids going to various camps, so make sure you get the right info for the right camp:
