I wore my “No, I Will Not Fix Your Computer” shirt to Short Mountain. It was a great conversation starter among me and the rest of the computer geeks at camp. There were plenty of people helping setup for this church camp. Not sure if I was needed, but it was great to be around people anticipating a great camp. They were expecting about 230 campers. Plus about 60 staff and various other people showing up makes for about 300 people at that camp. It’s a strain on resources. The kitchen staff will probably be overworked….horses will be tired….and the camp will most likely be trashed. They are having to turn people away simply because they just do not have enough beds for everyone. I visited there one night last year. It was a bit intimidating being around so many people I didn’t know.
Darrell, Tracy and I left at 8:15 Sunday morning in order to get back in time for church in Mt. Juliet. Center Chapel’s Sunday school starts at 10AM, worship at 11AM, while Mt. Juliet’s Sunday school is at 9AM and Worship is at 10. We made it back just in time for me to get to worship at Mt. Juliet. Normally I would have just stayed at Center Chapel, but there was yet another camp planning meeting after services at Mt. Juliet.
On our way back we stopped at Woodbury Church of Christ so that Tracy could make copies of the Short Mountain camp newsletter which is put out each day at camp. She needed to make 300+ copies and knew that the copier machine at Center Chapel just couldn’t handle it in the time she needed to make it. So Darrell showed me around Woodbury’s building. They obviously have some great artists at this church. There were several Biblical murals in the classrooms. Someone must have put alot of thought and time into it. I took several pictures to show some of our artists at church.
Some people at the Woodbury church get there 1 hour before church starts in order to keep the seat they always sit in. They’re growing at Woodbury…having to build on to their auditorium.
For Mt. Juliet’s camp I am teaching the junior boy campers on Tuesday. I guess this is anywhere between 3rd to 6th grade. I did get my lesson plan at the camp meeting today. Some of this stuff is pretty heavy for 3rd and 4th graders…..eternal punishment…etc. Not sure if I’ll need to water it down under the circumstances. It is slightly difficult teaching a lesson plan put together by someone else rather than myself. But at least I have something to go on.
