UPWARD Camp

26 boys and girls are arriving at 8 A.M. every morning this week. Terry Isham and coaches are encouraging them with games, drills, and scrimmages. The kids are having a great time but they are very, very tired by noon.

Micah 6:8 is the verse we are focusing on this week. Robin and I alternate days with the group and challenge them to follow the instructions of the verse.

Volunteers make this camp possible. Some are taking vacation time to be here. When you see them be sure to ask them about their week: Ron Wilson, Shanna Sommers, Mike Colegrove, Justin Steward, Jason Weaver, Heather Harris, Logan Lindsay, Terry Isham. Our teenagers are increasing their leadership skills as they help and coach.

UPWARD Camp is another way to sow the seed of the gospel and an opportunity for our teenagers and adults to grow as they minister.

Late August the registrations for the 2009 season will be available. March 8, 2009 will be our Awards Night with Robyn Rodgers as our entertainer. She was with us our very first year of UPWARD and some feel was the "best". How many balls did she spin at one time?
