Due to weather conditions, tonight’s (8/7) Shorebirds Game is CANCELLED.
However, our tickets are able to be used for another night. So we will be rescheduling for another night. We will keep you posted.
We will be sharing stories from MAD Teen Camp 2017 tonight (7/26) at Elevate. Come on out to share and to hear how God inspired us to “Go”.
Today (7/21) ended teen camp 2017. After cleaning their cabins, we enjoyed our last worship service together. Pastor Ben announced the winners of this years MOOSE games: the yellow team! We then met up by youth group to talk about the week and take communion. It was a special time to hear what our teens are thankful for! Finally, after cleaning up camp, they said goodbye to their new friends and we came back home.
This Sunday you will get the chance to hear some of these teens speak about their camp experience for Elevate Sunday! If your child is participating please have them in the sanctuary by 8am or 7:15 for worship team members

Today was an amazing last full day of camp: God spoke as He has been all week. During our last small group meeting we had the opportunity to talk about sharing Jesus with the person God put on our hearts. It was amazing to hear from them about how it will not always be easy, and we dove into that idea during Worship, looking at the story of Stephen. The end of the service turned into an extended time of prayer and worship as the Spirit led. Many of our students really took the challenge seriously, and let God really mess with them. Today’s activities included another picnic lunch, free time, shaving cream battle, and pool party! They are excited to come home but will definitely enjoy the last day with new friends. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

This week one of the afternoon rotations brings awareness to the millions of people around the world that have to walk to obtain their water for the day. Each camper will get to experience walking to the creek as if they were one of these people! In honor of the Just Water Experience, today the whole camp drank only water!
Small group time focused on testimonies and how to share your story. During free time many of the teens enjoyed swimming and got to visit Prayer Stations (run by Pastor Derek!) Campers got the chance to pray on their own in creative ways, focusing on the “Go” statements of Jesus: GO and pray, GO and sin no more, GO and do likewise, and GO and make disciples.
Tonight’s moose games included water kickball, volleyball, the grid, and dodgeball, so tomorrow we will see the final standings of color teams!
During worship we looked at what it is like to GO with others in focus, and the speaker asked us to think of one person that we need to GO and share the gospel with. It has been a great week so far and we can’t wait to see what tomorrow holds!

This morning started with personal quiet time with God. It was really cool to see campers spread out all over camp doing their own devotions!
Each small group continued to talk about the Holy Spirit and His power.
Morning worship split between high school and middle school, to have a smaller group according to their age level. The afternoon consisted of a picnic lunch and free time, where campers got to choose between swimming, horseback riding, Gaga ball, prayer stations, and lots of other fun activities! Moose games today helped everyone cool off, since many of them involved water! After dinner we had another worship meeting, this time about the importance of surrender. The Laurel teens got a lot out of it and enjoyed praying together. After some more games and free time with snacks, they are off to bed for the night!

Here are just a few pictures that captured some of our students from the Facebook page:
The first day of the Mid-Atlantic District Teen Camp was a success! The group arrived, got settled, and is making friends already. The first worship meeting of the week introduced our topic: Go! (Based on Acts) they also got to meet their counselors and small group leaders. The night ended with the start of MOOSE games like Karaoke! We have a great week ahead of us!

One quick note: Since this was the first day of camp our adult leaders had a lot on their hands. That is why today is such a short post. We will have more to share other days and hopefully some pictures to post as well.
Blessings!
