Faith Adventures (Formerly VBS) 2024
Camp Firelight
Faith Adventures 2024 "Camp Firelight" was a great week full of fun as we learned to put our trust in God! We welcomed around kids and youth from all over Eaton County in our doors each day. Campers were welcomed by the puppet "Lumen the Lightning Bug" and "Counselor Melany" to hear how we can trust God to Go With Us, Lead the Way, Share Wisdom, Give Us Peace and Spark Joy! Each day the main point was supported by a familiar story from the the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. Some of the stories included stories of Jacob and Ruth as well as Jesus calming the storm and sharing wisdom with his followers. Stories came to life through several special guest appearances in the Bible Story room. Campers got to get hands on with the Firelight Focus and Bible stories through crafts, snacks, science, and games. We were excited to welcome "Over the Rainbow Zootopia" to our recreation station as kids got to pet and interact with various animals. The week also included high energy music that the campers learned at a special music station and then got to sing again at the opening and closing celebrations. The week ended with a family celebration lunch and a special presentation by our mission focus "Wildside Wildlife Rescue" as the kids learned and saw different wildlife animals. Throughout the week everyone learned that "When I am afraid, I can put my trust in you" in the energy, excitement, joy and love that was spread throughout the building each day.
