I Shot an Arrow in The Air

Or so goes the old poem, however, today I mean that literally and not just figuratively as I just came back from archery. After shooting a few arrows myself, I was helping the campers learn how to shoot and then watching as the screamed with excitement as they hit the target for the first time. Even Pastor Jeanette took up her bow and scored a bullseye. Their were also screams of delight as students rode the zipline BACKWARDS! However camp is not about free time (although we have much fun), camp is about looking to Jesus. Mary shared with us the story of Saul on the road to Damascus, how he met Jesus there, was made blind, and was then sent to Ananais where he was healed. Saul later became Paul and went all over preaching the Gospel. Mary also shared how much she and God loves us. But as much as she loves us, she could never send one of her sons to die for anybody. God the Father did love us that much, however and she explained how we can live with Him forever if we have faith in Jesus to save us.
We also heard from our speaker Dale who started a story about Farmer Bill but stopped when it got to the exciting part -we can't wait for the rest of the story. Worship was fabulous as always with much more to come. I'll post after chapel later. There's now 500 pictures on Flickr, so check it out.
