Luke Adkins, playing Jesus, walked on water Wednesday morning for the children at the day camp program.  It was a great skit and everybody did well.  Peter was played by Mitchell Somers.  The children were provided with water guns and when the storm raged before they spotted Jesus approaching, the water guns were used to simulate the crashing waves upon the boat.  It appeared more waves “crashed” on Bro. Eddie!!  For crafts, children made a story book about Jesus walking on water. 

Our church members donated many, many storybooks related to the skits we’ve been presenting this week.  This has been an excellent touch and welcomed by the children.

Wednesday night was “Western Night.”   Our family night program began with live music featuring Adam Martin, Troye Scarbrough, Kristen Rodamaker, Luke Adkins, Ricky Sammons and Tyler Scott.  As the program began at 8:00, we had gotten word that we were under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning until 8:30.  Bro. Eddie was grilling hot dogs while Beth Scarbrough was wrapping them.  At least 60 people were estimated to have gathered.  We made the announcement about the weather warning and encouraged folks to get under the pavilion.  They did.  However at about 8:15 one close lightning strike and clap of thunder caused most of the campers to get back to their camp site.

Following the peanut fight with the rain pouring down outside the pavilion, Bro. Eddie took the occasion to work into his devotional message how storms in our life leave us with the feeling of weakness.  Much as the current storm we were experiencing can cause us have the feeling of weakness.  But as Paul told the Corinthians in the Second Epistle chapter 4, when we are weak, Christ is strong and we need to depend on Him. 

The theme for Thursday’s day camp is “David and Goliath”.  Thursday night’s family is “A Night at the Opry.”  Guest stars will include Little Jimmy Dickens, Alan Jackson, the Judds, Kelly Pickler, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lavato, Aly and A.J. and the grand finale will be Elvis performing American Trilogy.
