Raised to Praise
Music and Arts Camp 2007
Music and Arts Camp 2007, "Raised to Praise," was great fun and a blessing for all involved! The theme of the camp was based on Psalm 40:1-3 "I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD." Throughout the week we learned that when God rescues His people out of their pit of sin, he gives them a "new song". Therefore art, music, and drama are, for the Christian, a means of thanking God for what He has done and testifying to a watching world at the same time.
Throughout the week the children participated in hands on classes that allowed them to express their God-given creativity. We also heard from special guests and camp faculty during the recital time and the students had an opportunity to perform for each other in a student recital and art display. The week culminated in the Camp Showcase in which all of the classes presented what they learned during the week.
Be sure to join us for next year's Music and Arts Camp, June 9-13 2008! Registration will begin April 1 and close on May 11, 2008. Mark your calendars.
