Portraits on the Peniel Prairie (Teen 1 Camp 2011)

During Teen Camps this year, we are taking some old-time photos. Costumes are available and photos are taken and printed in sepia tones. This afternoon this sister and brother had their picture taken.


Waiting their turn

Now to find just the right costumes...

Found a dress...

... add an apron...

...and she's all set.

Okay. Let's get in place.

A little adjusting

Just about ready now

Click! Click!

They opted for a smiling picture.

Reflipping the Aqua Jump

After a windstorm flipped the Aqua Jump last weekend, a crew of guys went out early Monday morning re-flip it to be ready for the campers' arrival later in the day. Not an easy task - but a great accomplishment when completed!

Junior 2 Camp pictures

Enjoyed a great week of camp with 100 Junior 2 Campers who have recently completed grades 5 and 6. 
The campers' Bible memory work for this week was to memorize Psalm 119:1-50, reviewing the prior verse each time a new verse was recited. Twenty-eight campers memorized all the verses; some went back and said them in groups of 8 verses for additional points. The following campers are to be commended for their diligence in learning God's Word:
  • Stephen Arp
  • Crewe Burke
  • Calvin Catania
  • Jeremy Craddock
  • Elizabeth Garren
  • Michael Gibson
