Our Cups Are Full !
Whew! We made it!! Our energy levels may be low after a summer filled with God’s children, planning, training, fun,laughter, swimming, singing, and playing, but our hearts and cups are FULL of God’s blessings. Join us in a prayer of thanksgiving and gratitude for God’s provisions for us this past season.
Dear God,
We thank you, always, for our campers–we are so thankful that we got to see them this summer! Cover them in your protection and comfort going into another school year and until they can see that Camp Akiva sign again.
Thank you for our volunteers! Your people truly showed your love this summer, and we are so so thankful for them! Bless our volunteers with rest after this busy season of loving your children.
Thank you for our Camp Akiva staff! Not only did they serve us so wonderfully this summer, but they served every group that visited Camp Akiva. We couldn’t do any camp without them!!
Amen.
