Camp Theme: "Blessed Living: Sermon on the Mount Morris"
Camp Theme: "Blessed Living: Sermon on the Mount Morris"
"Blessed Living: Sermon on the Mount Morris" was selected as the camp theme by the Regional Youth Council (RYC), an elected group of campers who help plan the camp experience each summer. The theme will be a chance to dive into the Sermon on a Mount from Matthew 5, focusing on the message Christ offers on what it means to live a blessed life. Small group discussions will be a chance to review the Beatitudes and talk about ways we can live in a way that creates the community we are hoping to see in the world around us!
The program leaders will be selected soon! In the meantime, a recent program leader, Kristin, is pictured here... with a felt ball stuck to her Velcro hat.
