After church, I wandered into the fellowship hall to find 6 of our youth waiting with coffee, treats, and a presentation. They each took time to share in front of the rest of the church members there stories from their time at Camp Luther last summer.
They each told us how long they were there, what they liked, what they learned, etc.
Things they liked the most:
- Making new Christian friends
- Playing games
- Devotions
- That it's ok to pray all the time, not just in church
- That God loves us no matter what
Not only was it wonderful to hear these testimonials about their experiences at camp. But it was wonderful to see young children standing up in front of a mixed audience - some peers, some other children, parents, and other adults - doing it. They did a fantastic job speaking. And that is not an easy thing for anyone, let alone young children (ranging from 3rd grade to 8th grade). And then, to speak on your Faith.... Oh, it was so heart warming to watch. What a wonderful group of children. What an amazing way to start the day.
