My Worship Revolution

This first week of school year summer is a crazy one here at CLC.  We have two major "camps" happening simultaneously.  We partner with a church down the road where we hold our VBA – Vacation Bible Adventure (cause who wants to go to school during the summer anyway?).  This years theme is King of the Jungle, and my wife is in charge of all of the music for that.  She’s still feeling pretty nervous about it, even after a great first day, but I’m sure she’s doing awesome!  They have child care available for Caleb which makes it possible for her to help out.  But definitely makes it a busy week with Caleb totally off his schedule.

At the same time our church is sponsoring Royal Family Kids Camp in Felton at Camp Maymac.  Some of my friends at Revolution participate with this down south.  It is a week long camp for foster kids, and these are some kids who have had it rough.  I’m tag teaming with our youth pastor, Kyle, as the camp pastor for this one.  I spent most of the day there today, and it was  blast!  It reminded me how much I love working with kids and has kinda made Rachel and I both miss the good ole days at Laurel Pines, where we met.

So each morning I will be there doing object lessons and bible stories.  In the afternoons I’ll be trying to get some work done, getting ready for Sunday, which means midweek rehearsal, and continuing with training alongside our preparing Life Group leaders.  I’ll try to keep up, but please forgive me if posting is slim this week.  And we’ll see if that weigh loss update actually gets up.

Tonight Rachel joined me at Royal Family for dinner and the staff talent show.  Anyone who’s been around me at any of the recent camps or missions trips or any extended events with kids around is familiar with the infamous "Banana Song."  Well tonight, the kids learned it as part of the talent show.  But it went o the next level.  A costume!  Yeah baby!  Yellow pants, yellow shirt, and a banana peel hat made from yellow paper.  Unfortunately, I didn’t get a picture, but I do have a shot of Kyle and I as a pirate and Batman as we helped announce the rules:

What can I say?  Sometimes it’s a lot of fun to make a complete fool of yourself, especially in the name of Jesus.  This will be a somewhat stressful couple weeks comin up, but it sure will be fun too!
