Day Four Part II- JC Rivers @ Camp

Lights out tonight was a little later....since we had a variety show! 

I am happy to tell you our youth group was well represented.

Anna: sang a solo

Mark and Laura: sang a duet

Andrea: sang a solo

Matt: played the piano

And the rest of us cheered them on proudly!! :) what a talented group of kids!

Cant believe tomorrow is our day to head home! We are all packed tonight (as much as we could) so we can wake up, get breakfast and get on the road. Our projected arrival time at the church is between 4:00pm and 5pm. I will let you know as we get closer. We plan to leave as early as possible!

Thanks for your support and prayers this week! I am so excited for the youth to share all their stories with you!

God is so good!

Blessings

Day Four- JC Rivers @ Camp

Today has been a great day so far. Our question for the day is "do you want to get well?" We will address it even further in program tonight and in small group time with our individual youth group!

This morning we were the breakfast servers! We had to be up and down stairs by 630...would you believe me if I told you all the youth were 10+ min early?? I was so proud of our group, they worked hard and with happy hearts (which can be hard when you wake up before the sun) :)

There were some of thunder storms that passed through today and the feeding many groups spent about 20 mins or so in their vehicles to escape the weather.

Other than that things went smooth as silk!

In Christ's love-

Day Three- JC Rivers @ Camp

What a great day! We all worked at our separate sites in the morning and then in the evening went to casa bonitas and the aquarium. We had a great time! Just got back in time for lights out... good night!

Day Two- JC Rivers @ Camp

We are back from our sites and have had dinner! 

The youth have free time now until 730pm when we will have evening program.

Everyone had a good first day!

 Today we have been talking about fears and how God is with us through everything. 

We Got some sun and some of us are a little pink but I am happy to say the youth are reporting back that they are drinking lots of water and re applying sun screen through out the day.

A little change in plans for tomorrow night (our free evening). They have assigned shower times (different for youth and adult) Tomorrow the evening shower times are different and we don't have enough time to shower before the zoo so we switched things up.

We will get back from all our work sites tomorrow between 315 and 4pm, have time to shower and then head to casa Bonitas. We will stay there until about 730 then head to the Denver aquarium which is open until 9. After the aquarium we'll head back to home base, have time to get ready for bed then lights out at 11pm.

The aquarium costs a little more than the zoo, but not much. 

So we have funds to cover it from the combined youth fundraising.

Below is a link to the aquarium, feel free to message, text or call if you have any questions about the change.

JC Rivers to Camp

Hey Meg & James!
We need an update from camp.....

Merry Thanksgiving!

What is that you say?
Well, we are making plans for us 2nd Rivers Gathering of course!

Tentative plans are for November 26th-27th (Tuesday through Wednesday AM) @ Acorns Resort

I will look into reservations in the next couple of weeks. I believe we were in Cabin #8, I will try to reserve it, but we will see.

We can split up duties and come up with a menu later.

Since we are planning way ahead, the D.A.D. will be able to hang out with us for the whole time.

Also, we thought it would be great to exchange gifts. I know it's stinking hot out right now, but
stay with me... Even if we don't exchange gifts then, I thought it was a good idea to draw names.
I like Q's idea of staying connected with your giftee throughout the year. This is your opportunity to get to know them on a deeper level. Praying for them will empower their lives as well as your own.

Here's the Exchange List for 2013:
We have included Grandma A and Grandma G, you are free to treat them throughout the year.
What they value most is to hear from you on a regular basis. They love telling their friends that the grandchildren are always calling to check up on them!
