It is hard to believe that August is almost here. At Hannaford we have a busy schedule during the summer. I would like to reflect upon three big summer activities recently completed.
Drama Camp (June 21-24). One of our largest groups of children were involved in Drama Camp this year. Twenty-nine young people worked diligently throughout the week and concluded with a fantastic performance for all to enjoy. Drama Camp provides a great opportunity for children to learn more about acting and to share great biblical truths through a children's musical.
Junior Camp (June 28-July 1). A wonderful time was had enjoying the beauty of God's creation at Mizpah. Twenty-four 4th - 7th graders had a great time and learned from the life of David.
Vacation Bible School (July 12-16). It was great to see children have a blast growing in their love for God. Several decisions were made by young people during the week. God's Word was studied, His praises sang, and a lot of fun was had by all.
As I reflect, I am excited to see children seek God and grow in their walk with Him. The many volunteers who poured their time and love into the lives of the children are appreciated. I thank God for His work throughout each of these activities.
Unfortunately, we can't stop and revel in the blessings for long. It is time to look forward to the fall. I ask that you pray with me for volunteers to fill the many positions needed this fall. It will be exciting to see God's work in AWANA, Sunday School, Children's Church, and our other children's activities.
