Summer Fun! School's Out! — Orchard Lake Campout
Friday, June 10th, 4pm - Sunday, June 12th, ~10am
Fee: camping is $9/person.
However; things will be a little different this year…. A Boy Scout Troop has our normal location…. so we’ll try something new! This year we will be in sites 110 through 116. This area is located behind the pavilion, near the zip-line and is grassy and closer to all the activities at the campground. There is water and electricity at each site. We’ll use site 113 as the group site and put tents on either site of the fire ring and picnic tables. We will be using the pavilion bathrooms.

Our Stone Soup this year is entitled "Wild Life Sanctuary," our theme for the summer and the title of a project we are working on with our summer church intern, Lena Connor, to record the "wild lives of faith" lived out by our own community members. How often do we stop and marvel at the wondrous events in our lives--from the smallest moments of awe to the largest touchstone events that change our paths--and name God at work? This weekend, we want to reflect on the epicness of our time on earth and share with one another!
Our scripture passage we will meditate on is from Genesis 28:
16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.” 17 And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.”
18 So early in the morning Jacob took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar and poured oil on the top of it.
Bring any poems/quotes/stories/scripture that you want to share with the group on what makes life a grand adventure!
Look forward to seeing you all! -Lena
