Weekend Wrap Up Etc.
- Our weekend was fantastic. Katie Edwards taught our 5th week of “The Lab” and did a really, really good job. Games were fun, music was great and attendance was fairy high for this time of year.
- We leave on Sunday for summer camp at Thousand Pines. This is our 12th summer there! Summer camp is where we have felt the pinch of the recession for the first really tangible time in our ministry as we barely have enough students signed up to fulfill our camp contract. However, all of our other, much cheaper, events have been jam-packed this summer. I would be interested to hear if your experiences are similar.
- We had a special screening of “To Save A Life” this weekend at church. Great movie.
- I spoke in three adult services at Saddleback on Sunday night. After already logging four junior high services, I went into the night feeling really tired, but it was fantastic. I’m glad I don’t teach to adults on a regular basis, but the change of pace felt kinda nice.
- The topic of the adult message was basically around how to have a meaningful time in God’s word. On the way home I thought of this line: “It’s not how much of the Bible you get through, It’s how much of the Bible gets through to you!” Dang it….that would have preached!

We backed off our events this summer and only did one big one. It has proved to be a real blessing. Like you guys our small events have had great success.
We’ve seen the opposite happen in our ministry, which totally surprised me. We did a ton of super cheap things this summer that sorta flopped and our one really big (and fairly expensive) event was a big hit! Go figure.
Our camp is down 5% from last year. This surprised me, I thought we’d be down even more. We had many last minute additions. Have fun at camp ours starts this Sunday.
