Wise Words from the Scribe
Dear God,
It’s me, the camp scribe. Thank you for bringing us this flock of children that you have entrusted us with this year. The connection, joy, and intentionality has been so visible, and your fingerprints are clearly seen all over this ministry. You are providing connection by allowing your children to remind us why we do what we do. Using young voices to speak words of wisdom with the camp director, support staff, and counselors? Such a powerful impact for both the camper and the adult! Thank you!
This year of programs may be ending, but we are still eager to see what else you have in store for us. I pray for continued protection surrounding our campground, peace and joy as we bond with the campers, and a genuine close connection with you, God. Hold us close and help us feel your presence while rest.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
