We're going hiking with SCLT (Saluda Community Land Trust) on the Upper Camp Creek Trail.
We meet at 2, then drive to the trail head. After hiking, everyone is invited to Rob's house (just a half mile down the road from the trail head) for cookout and camping.
We plan to have worship on the trail, a time for thanksgiving, reflection and communion.
If anyone doesn't want to hike you can meet us at Rob's house (call 828-606-3452 for directions) at 5 for fellowship and food. Everyone can bring what you would like to a cookout (a protein and a side) and Rob will provide the makings for S'MORES.
We've got room for tents around the campfire and room for 10 kids in the treehouse, so stay the night with us since the next day is a school holiday. The Parsons/Hestons will provide pancake batter to cook over the fire (or stove if you want to bring one) and you can bring whatever else you might need (we can use refrigeration from the house if necessary).
Our scripture lesson is Matthew 18: 23-34
‘For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his slaves. When he began the reckoning, one who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him; and, as he could not pay, his lord ordered him to be sold, together with his wife and children and all his possessions, and payment to be made. So the slave fell on his knees before him, saying, “Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.” And out of pity for him, the lord of that slave released him and forgave him the debt. But that same slave, as he went out, came upon one of his fellow-slaves who owed him a hundred denarii; and seizing him by the throat, he said, “Pay what you owe.” Then his fellow-slave fell down and pleaded with him, “Have patience with me, and I will pay you.” But he refused; then he went and threw him into prison until he should pay the debt. When his fellow-slaves saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their lord all that had taken place. Then his lord summoned him and said to him, “You wicked slave! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. Should you not have had mercy on your fellow-slave, as I had mercy on you?” And in anger his lord handed him over to be tortured until he should pay his entire debt.
We're also looking at not taking things personally as the second agreement.
Then if you are still up for more adventure, we're planning a rock climbing adventure in Pisgah Forest National Park on Monday.
