WinShape Camp for Communities: Cancelled
|
Because WinShape Camp for Communities travels to different states and also because it extends throughout the summer (beginning in June) the COVID-19 outbreak means that it would be very difficult to proceed with camp this summer. On Thursday, April 23rd, WinShape announced their decision to cancel WinShape Camp for Communities. If you already made a deposit for our camp in Port Charlotte, you should receive an email from them soon with details about your refund. We hope to bring WinShape back to our city in the summer of 2021!

If you had already paid a deposit for a camper, you should have received an email from WinShape. A link to that email text is below. There is also an update on the WinShape camp website, and you can view that by clicking the 2nd button, below.
Word of Life Camp: (July 19 - 24) - Cancelled
|
We are sorry to announce that we will not be taking a group of 2nd - 5th graders to Word of Life Camp in Hudson, Florida this summer. Word of Life is still planning to have camp and has plans for modifications because of COVID-19. However, after much prayer and discussion, we have decided we will not participate as a children's ministry group. If you would like to send your child as a single camper, click on the icon to see the "Junior Weeks" available, and you can register your child through their website. Thank you for your understanding and support! (At this time, our youth group still plans to go. Visit the CRASH page for more information or to contact Pastor Duane.)

Safari Kids Ministry Rules - SLLRP! |
The behavior rules in Safari Kids help our children be better prepared to receive the lesson God has for them. This system is called SLLRP (pronounced slurp). Each letter in SLLRP stands for a different “I Can” statement that helps children take ownership of their time and behavior at church each week.
Our hope and prayer is that you’ll join us in talking about these expectations with your children at home as we talk about them at church. Psalm 42:1-2 (NIrV) says, “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?” We want kids to thirst for God just like the psalmist, and when they SLLRP it up, it allows them to soak up everything God wants to teach them! Take a moment and scroll through each "I Can" statement, and let us know if you have questions! |
