PYV Summer Camp 2016 - day 1

Where's the sun?

After spending much of this week concerned about the expected heat I arrived at the campsite with rain and a cool breeze.

It was good to see people arriving, registering, finding their rooms, and talking with each other. I always enjoy seeing teenagers reconnect at the start of camps.

We started with some large group games on the oval. It was humid and uncomfortable for some of its, but it didn't stop anyone getting involved. From there we went into our first session together, but this wasn't a worship session. Instead we spent the time introducing our key leaders, the pastoral carers, & camp parents.

Dinner was great, and the noise suggested people are talking with each other across the tables.

Our first worship session tonight included the first message from Jared Keath from Exodus. Tonight we heard about God's faithfulness being shown as he was quietly keeping his promise to Abraham even in times of difficulty & oppression. God's faithfulness makes a difference in our own lives too. We might not see all that he is doing, but he is there.

Our camp has begun well, and we look forward to more.
