Camp 2008

2008 Summer Camping Ministry

OUR THEME: “HANDLE WITH CARE”

God made us for relationship—with God, with each other and with creation. The call to relationship echoes throughout the biblical witness. Campers will deepen their understanding of what it means to live in loving relationship with God, each other, and creation with an emphasis on how they can “Handle With Care” the relationship with creation. They will examine what the Bible has to say about their role in God’s creation and consider what it means to handle the creation with care.
Materials to Promote Summer Camp 2008 in your congregation are available on the Clergy Page.
