IGNITE 2013

This week at our church we are having our kids camp week. We call it IGNITE - it's like VBS but so much more than any VBS I attended as a kid. This is like a youth camp but geared toward Kindergarten through 5th graders. It's AMAZING!

I love watching the kids worship. They are all in and hold nothing back. They are expressive and they have joy on their faces. They are alive and in the moment. So many times on Sunday morning, I look around and think, these adults need some kids to come in and show them how it's done! I really think that our kids could teach us how to worship. I know that during this time with Pace, I am learning a lot just by watching him as he walks through this time. His faith amazes me daily. I guess this is why scripture teaches us to come to Him with the faith of a child. It's totally pure and I love it!

This week I have also been blown away by our volunteers. They are coming out of their shells and having so much fun with these kids. We have over  80 volunteers from our church and 53 middle school students with Chaperones from VA here helping us pull this week off. It's amazing to watch as people come in straight from work, feeding their kids from a drive through, and sometimes not eating themselves - to serve for 5 nights. I love it!

Two more nights and we are going to blow the roof off! It's TIME TO SHINE!
