We had a great week at Camp Andrews. It was intense and stretching but we could feel the power of the Spirit in us. We were definitely upheld by prayers.
Here are some pictures from the week (click on the picture to enlarge):

Giant swing

We swam everyday. This day we got to do it at night.

We try to get the campers to learn something useful. Here a group of them are learning how to crochet. Some of them enjoyed this so much that they were doing it while they were walking to their different activities.

Jethro is leading the singing in the boys chapel. Lucy and I did two of the chapels.

These assistants did a great job in creating laughter when they came out with their clown suits.

Lucy and I have had a great first day.

Here are some pictures of the group. Click to enlarge.

Tomorrow Lucy and I are heading to camp. We are looking foreward to what God will do.

Summer Bible School is in full swing. We have a great set of teachers!

We decorated the church to go along with our Ten Commandment theme.

Waiting for the church doors to open.

I have been wearing a Moses costume and welcoming the kids when they come. It has been kind of fun. Even the adults seem to like “Moses.”

That is me behind the costume.

Lucy and I went down to Philly on July 4th in anticipation of Summer Bible School. On Saturday evening we went to the Girard bridge over the Skuylkill River so that we could watch the fireworks being shot off from the Art Museum.

Sitting on the bridge sidewalk playing games, waiting for the fireworks to begin.

I was able to see the new PECO lighted sign at the top of thier building. They recently improved their scrolling sign to an LED screen.

The other evening Lucy and I went to see her brother play in the softball league he apart of. His team is one of the younger teams and they won both games that they played against an older team.

Watching the game with Lucy’s parents.

Bleachers

The weather is starting to warm up. This allowed us to have a picnic with our friends.

Recently Lucy and I went to Ocean City, MD for our anniversary. It was a great place.

Light House Inn – where we stayed.

We enjoyed our time on the deck enjoying the sunsets.

On Thursday I attended Dave Ramsey’s Town Hall for Hope simulcast at a local church. It was a great to hear the hope and direction which he gave on the economy.

Sara Groves has a wrote a song entitled “When the Saints” which has become a favorite of mine. In this song she speaks of Saints who have lived life recklessly for God and others and her desire to do the same.
Michael Card has called Groves a modern day abolitionist because of her fight against current slavery. This song seems to come out of this passion.
