Prayer: We thank you, God, for being with us always and for being faithful to us from generation to generation. Amen. Reading: “For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.” --Psalm 100:5 Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: During staff training this year, we did the Nigerian chant that goes like this: “God is good,” and you respond, “All the time.” Then the leader says, “All the time” and you say “God is good.” We see God’s goodness all around us. Everything God touches is good, and God’s love has been shown to many people throughout time, particularly in the Bible. This year, we’ve had to adapt. Today, we are kicking off Virtual CML. Since July 15, our summer staff have been together, being trained in leadership, engaging in service work, and developing a virtual camp experience. So, for the next week or so, enjoy being part of our first-ever Virtual CML at www.campmountluther.org/coronavirus. Our theme this year “From Generation to Generation.” We will explore several Biblical characters and see how God worked in their lives. From Abraham and Sarah; to Joseph; then David; Jesus’ mother, Mary; and Paul, Timothy, and Lydia, we are reminded of God’s promises, love, and hope even when we might have doubts. God is with us all the time and it has been that way for a long time. I can’t wait for you to be part of this fantastic program our staff developed. God has been with us as we’ve gotten ready for you. And we’ve been reminded that God’s goodness has been around for a long time and will continue to be with us from generation to generation. --Chad Hershberger
