Acorns to Oaks

Welcome Back!

We are moving ever closer to our camp (July 21-25), and preparations continue. Everyone involved is so excited that it's difficult to wait until camp starts to see the children returning from previous year's camps and all the new faces appearing this year!

We have chosen our production this year: Acorns to Oaks

To quote Word Music's website:

"Best-selling children's musical creator Celeste Clydesdale teaches children about growing in Christ through this fun-to-sing musical, Acorns to Oaks. As the children help Mr. MacDonald with his harvest, he teaches them the parable of the seed and the sower. When they're visited by some mischievous crows and rumor weeds, they begin to understand that the best way to produce the fruit God desires in their lives is to plant their roots firmly in God's Word."

The music for this production is a lot of fun, with a wide variety of styles that will appeal to everyone. Listen to these samples:

Remember that this camp is for everyone...not just kids who enjoy being in the spotlight! The children are involved in every aspect of the production, including making scenery and props. Over the course of the week we will enjoy daily Bible study, games, music, and fun Christian fellowship.

At the end of the camp, on Friday night, is the reward for all the hard work the children have put in through the week - our performance! This year we are adding something new - a food drive! At the end of the performance we will be collecting canned and non-perishable food to be donated to the Ramseur Food Pantry. This is a great time to give generously! After the performance, there will be an autograph signing and reception in the Fellowship Hall, where everyone can let our kids know what an amazing job they did.

We'll be looking for you!
