Friday Update: What a Week!

We are having so much fun here at New Beginnings Camp! We have had NO internet service so we have not been able to update the blog. We apologize for this and will hopefully have this problem fix for next year. I don't have much time to write, but thought I would share a few pictures for you to see what fun things we have been up to! God is really working on these kiddos this week!

Night of Camp Fundraiser

What: A chance to give your little ones a preview of what a day at camp will be like.

**The cost includes childcare for 4 hours, dinner and lots of fun!

Where: Pleasant Ridge Church of Christ

This event is meant to give children a preview of camp so that they are more comfortable with the staff and environment before camp begins.

This even also doubles as a fundraiser for New Beginnings Christian Camp.  Donations can always be give at www.newbeginningscamp.com.  We accept donations as scholarships for children whose families can not afford to send their kids to camp and donations for the general operation fund.  Your donations are tax deductible.  Thank you!

Under Construction: God's Word - Our Blueprint for Life

Planning for camp is well underway.  We have had our first staff meeting and have decided on our theme for New Beginnings Camp 2009.

"Under Construction: God's Word - Our Blueprint For Life"

We will be focusing on Isaiah 40:8 as our central verse.  Each day we will learn 2 new ways that we can glorify God.  These are:

Respect

Responsibility

Kindness

Generosity

Obedience

Forgiveness

Honesty

We are so excited to spend a week with your little ones and teach them more about God's love.  Remember to register online at newbeginningscamp.com.  You can also print off a registration form and mail it in, if that is what you prefer.  

We have several different payment options, so be sure and go online today!!!

Here we are at New Beginnings camp. I have added a few cabin pics on this page. You may go to http://picasaweb.google.com/NewBeginningsCamp/NewBeginnings2008OmaSPics

for over 250 pictures of our week. You should be able to download and print from this site.

As you can see we had a great bunch of kids! We had a few scrapes, bites and a couple of trips into the hospital, but we were able to overcome all these things because we were wearing the Armor of God. We really needed it, and it WORKS!

Ask your kids what they learned. Ask about their new friends and what they learned about themselves in this week while they were set apart from their normal routine.

Thank you for the opportunity to play, laugh and learn with your kids.

Rolling down a soft grassy hill, looking out over a lake early in the morning, self-serve food lines, lots of walking, swimming in a lagoon, working as a team...All these may not be what your kids will experience at home, but they made for great memories of New Beginnings Camp 2008.

Kids, keep that armor on and keep on the alert for the 'tempter'.

Much love to you all, Oma Karan

What a week- and we're not done yet!!

Hello blog readers-
Greetings from the beautiful woods of east Texas! Finally we have some pictures to post. A million apologies to all of you who have been waiting to see what's going on. We have realized that we don't have a vital component to effective blog posting- the cable that goes from the camera to the computer- oops! But OMA to the rescue- she has some great pics on her camera and I will try and post a few now. Please be patient with me and we will get some video footage up on here after we get home and you and your kids can relive the fun of camp over and over and over and over...
Enjoy the pics for tonight!
