Camp 2010 Spots

Just spoke with the lovely folks at SkyCroft Camp about extra camp spots. I've got good news and bad news. Bad news is that camp is ALREADY full! This is an extremely popular week and it's the firs time it's completely full before spring. The Good news after the video break!



The GOOD NEWS is that because we have a good relationship with them, they have agreed to let us have some extra spots without turning in the deposits right away. Translation-if you didn't get a deposit in last weekend there is still time. HOWEVER, since the camp is full if other churches needs our unpaid spots they will get them. This means I need deposits ASAP if you want to be sure you can go to camp.

Toy Delivery

Just spoke to the lovely folks at Outreach for Christ and they are in desperate need of help! Because they have so many kids to get toys ready for and not enough workers to help package toys we are going to change our event on Saturday.

We will NOT be delivering toys, instead we will be going to Outreach for Christ and helping them package toys. We'd love for you and your family to come. Meet at the church at 10am or you can meet us over at Outreach (2425 Bowland Parkway Suite 109, Virginia Beach, VA 23454)

As soon as they have packages ready, we will have some here at the church and you guys can help deliver them.

3rd Day at Camp

Here's some pictures from our third day.

This is Thad our worship leader.




Terry & Terri lead our AM Show "Travel Today" segment to help us get going and awake in the morning.



The kids got a chance to change their track times today and are enjoying them. The weather here has been perfect. It's hot but not too hot and there is a nice breeze to keep us cool. However, we are constantly plagued by gnats and it was pretty ironic because we were reading about the Plagues that happened in Egypt with Moses and gnats was one of them. So that has been a running inside joke.



Here's a group picture we took yesterday.


We may post some pictures from our 4th of July firework's celebration later tonight or tomorrow.
