“Hi Lord, it’s me, just checking on the number of stars in my crown and wondering about my retirement plan!!!”
Have you ever used that phrase “to being a prayer”? Probably not – it’s a bit audacious. But we do sometimes pause along the path of faith to do a spiritual checkup.
Using congregational development core models adapted for personal use, cherry picked Bible verses to justify anything, and 55 years of stories of parish ministry, The Rev. Doug Wigner will help campers delve into it all. Discover just how you think you’re doing in your walk with the Lord. You won’t lose your faith – but revelation about pitfalls, rites of passage, and “you’ve got to be kidding me” stories will encourage laughter, recommitment, and who knows what else!
Since our motto is “why should kids have all the fun”, we will have the usual other camp electives and free time.
Activities include:
All activities are optional and campers are welcome to spend time rocking on the porch, reading a book, going for a walk or doing whatever you want to do to relax and enjoy all that Shrine Mont has to offer.
