Prayer: God of love we praise you. We thank you for accepting us. We thank you for all our many blessings. Help us to spread those blessings to others. Help us be welcoming and accepting of others as you welcomed the children. Amen
Reading: Mark 10:13-16 (Click to read text) 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: The summer camp season is soon to start. We will have two weeks of staff training and then seven weeks of camp. We take seriously the words of Jesus when he said, “Let the little children come to me, do not stop them, for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.” The camp staff trains hard on hospitality and meeting the campers needs as they lead them through camp activities and times where they can grow in their faith. We are always excited when the campers come. We welcome them all with open arms. These Bible verses spoke specifically about children, but we are all blessed children of God and all are welcome at camp. I would ask that you say an extra pray this weekend as the summer staff makes their way to camp to start their training. Please also pray for all those campers who will come this summer. Thank you! --Charlene Rineer
