Flat Jesus is a baseball fan. Apparently he was upset when the Jays lost to the Detroit Tigers!
Camp Day #4
Today is Water Day!
We are all looking forward to getting outside and playing in the water.
You can tell that it is getting later in the week, the early morning activities were a little quieter this morning. But once we sang "O Canada" everyone woke up.
It's going to be another great day. Wonder what kind of help Annie will need today from our campers.
Camp Day #3
Wow, it is hot today! But we are having a great morning with camp.
We have an amazing duo of counsellors from Camp Cairn here this week.
A BIG Shout Out to Tumba and Jekko - you are awesome!
Always a favourite - Gaga Ball, by request! |
Camp Day #2
We are having lots of fun today, too!
Somewhere there must be a rule that camp week has to be the hottest week of the summer!
Another Flat Jesus sighting!

Flat Jesus in on the move!
This summer our Sunday School project is to take Flat Jesus with us and see how far he gets. If you don't have your Flat Jesus drop in to church and pick one up! This isn't just for Sunday School students, it's for everyone! When you snap that picture, please send it to me so I can post it.
Thanks, Joni ([email protected])

Galatians 5:13-1413 For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become slaves to one another. 14 For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.” 15 If, however, you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.
- The sermon was inspired by the above scripture and a rather odd occurrence at the first meeting of the Fathers of Confederation in Charlottetown. It is entitled "Canada 150: Call to a Nation from a Rowboat."
Here is a little promotional video for the sermon and the Canada 150 story:
