Last week our annual Summer Elementary Camp was held at Pine Eden Christian Retreat Center in Hamilton, Georgia. Eighty campers and thirty two youth counselors and adult leaders participated in what is the most anticipated St. Paul summer event.
Each day our campers participated in activities such as swimming, archery, basketball, kickball, four square, canoeing, dancing, gymnastics, cooking, art, and the Aqua Island obstacle course at Callaway Gardens. Each of the afore-mentioned activities challenged our campers physically, or creatively, and all were led by our St. Paul camp staff.
Our youth led daily devotions and nightly worship, following the theme, “Rooted in Love,” based on Ephesians 3:17-18… And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. Each morning, our youth counselors gave devotionals, and Sally Key entertained us with the daily news. In the evenings, we were treated to music by the Youth Praise Band, videos by Savanna Sturkie, and scripture lessons by Mitch Blankenship. These events made our nightly worship entertaining as well as spiritually inspiring.
Camp is the most anticipated St. Paul summer event for campers because of the energy, talent, love, and devotion our youth counselors bring to it. Their dedication to making our week at camp one that is fun filled, as well as Christ centered, is extraordinary. Without them, camp does not take place.
Tales of glory from this year’s camp will abound in the coming months, and at the center of each will be a youth counselor. In the words of our own Miss Minnie, “When I see these young men and women in action, I see the future of St. Paul in good hands.”
I concur, Miss Minnie, I concur.

Holy Communion Sunday
The Church Gathers for Worship
The Call to Worship
The Parish Concerns & Announcements
The Chiming of the Hour
The Flame Comes to the Altar
The Prelude: “Open My Eyes”by Robert J. Powell
*The Hymn of Celebration: “There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood”No. 622
*The Minister: “Let Us Unite in the Historic Confession of the Christian Church”
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
*The Gloria Patri
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen.
The Call to Prayer
Take this moment to prepare to speak to the One who is more focused upon our hearts than upon our words. One who is more committed to us and our soul’s well being than we are to our body’s comforts and pleasures. One who has shown us by the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ the seriousness with which He makes our appointment. The only One who loves us just because His love is greater than our sin. Free yourself in these moments from your fear-filled secrets by prayerfully confessing them in the presence of our Heavenly Father.
The Pastoral Prayer: Rev. John Fugh, Jr.
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
The Minister: “Let Us Worship God with His Tithes and Our Offerings”
