Camp Fun

Puzzle-me-this! 

Find a puzzle to put together. However, not in a 'regular' way– try to put it together blindfolded, by yourself. Then, try a second time, and put the puzzle together still blindfolded, but having a friend or family member give you directions! Enjoy the challenge :) 

Sing-Along

• He's Got the Whole World in His Hands

• Peace, Peace, God's Peace...

Think about

Right now, you campers may have some things running through your head like this: Why is my life in pieces? I just don't understand...what is going on with school in the fall? Can I go to this place with or without my mask? Will I be able to ride the school bus with my friends? and more…

All these pieces are part of a bigger puzzle– who or what are you relying on during this current time, and always, to bring peace into your life? 

There are some insights that may be valuable from 2 Thessalonians 3:16 (NLT) which says this: 

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation. The Lord be with you all. (NLT)

The author writes that God HIMSELF is our peace - not just a piece of the puzzle, but HE knows what the puzzle looks like from all angles. 

As "Bazooka Bubblegum" says, "My mom gave me ____________, then I ___________" just like when we sing this song, we have the choice of what we put our resources towards. The resources of our mind, heart, and soul, and our whole being. Will we rely on God to be our PEACE, who pieces together all parts of the unknowns in our lives? He is the God who has the whole world in His hands, so won't our caring, loving, Prince of Peace care for His creation, us, a special treasure to Him? 

Talk About

Ask the Prince of Peace to give you his perfect peace through a tough time that you may be encountering. Jesus doesn’t promise to fix everything right away. He promises peace when we trust that He is in control.

Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV)

You will keep him in perfect peace,

Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.
