The Grace Community Church middle school camp is this week. Thanks to our family pastor Michael Bayne for letting me grab this video from his blog. (I didn’t ask permission, so I hope he’s okay with this.) Our youngest son Nate is serving as student pastor this summer and so he’s at the camp and in the video. I wish they would let me go sometime. I’d show them a water party!
Anyway, I’m thankful for those that invest in tomorrow’s church leaders. Be sure to follow Michael’s blog for updates on the experience.
Do you wish you were at middle school camp? Want to start a food fight?
Thanks. I agree….good thought…they are our present too!
Hi Ron
Thanks for posting that video and for your thanks for those that invest in tomorrow's leaders. As someone who spent 10 years as a youth pastor and in various youth camping/holiday ministries it made the memories come flooding back 🙂
I'm a huge believer that young people are not just our future they are our present and we need to treat them as such. Too often we dont expect much from them until they reach adulthood and we, our society, our churches, our families suffer because of it.
Some of my biggest personal growth times in my faith have come as a result of things I've learnt and experienced from young people, I love their enthusiasim for life, for each other and for God!
Thank you for loving them and supporting them on your blog
