Macomb Moments
Loving
Summer Break!
As we try not to whine through the crazy
heat-wave of present, I keep reminding
myself of how much fun we continue to
have! We had such a blast at the golf
outing! On behalf of all those served in
Macomb thank you for joining us!
YFC had a presence at this year’s
Heritage Days. We hosted Minute to Win
It
games as well as made some great balloon
creations {in fact, our students made
better creations than someone charging
people for them – nice job, folks!}
We
also had the junior and senior high summer bashes…both of which involved
getting wet.
My
highlight of the summer also involved getting wet – but the party was in
heaven! First, I got to serve as faculty
at LaMoine Christian Service Camp during High Teen. The culmination of this week- I had the
privilege to baptize two campers! Two weeks later, I again had the privilege to
baptize to more students! [… and
somehow God helped me not cry during any of them! Phew!]
Looking
Ahead
As
this gets ready to go to print, we have our Photo Scavenger Hunts: Senior High is Friday July 13th
and Junior High’s is Tuesday July 17th, 6-9pm . Jr High – please meet at the Dolphin Fountain
by the Post Office. If you have a
digital camera with a memory card, please bring it with you (details are listed
on the FB event).
VBS
– All Campus Life kids are invited to vacation bible school at Scotland Trinity
July 29-Aug 2 6-8:15pm. In partnership
with three of our church partners, YFC senior high students will be serving
there (leading games) and Campus Life students are invited to attend.
End
of Summer Bash/Fall Kickoff! We are so excited for a huge kickoff this year! Go
Forth, a Christian band that we enjoyed at camp comprised mostly of teens, will
be joining us! As a result, we moved the date to August 18th. Jr High Kickoff [kids grades 6-8] is Sat Aug
18th from 5-7pm. Senior High
kickoff is Sat. Aug 18th from 7:30-11pm. Go Forth and a ton of other fun stuff will be
going on. Adult helpers, as well as soda
&/or snack contributions, would be a huge blessing.
