Sunday Reflections - March 2, 2016

SOME IMPORTANT THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS WEEK

1. CAMP CASCADE - THE BEST WEEK OF YOUR LIFE
Summer camping involves high adventure, lots of fun, great food and excellent speakers who understand and respect high school, middle school and elementary kids. At Camp Cascade, kids are treated to wonderful facilities and a healthy environment.

Our camping program has grown in recent years. The experience, however, is the same — kids getting away from the pressures of everyday life, having fun with friends and great leaders, and hearing the message of God's love in terms they can understand. And the different camps at Camp Cascade are open to kids who often are overlooked: those from financially strapped homes, kids with disabilities and at-risk youth.

Each year, 100’s of kids around the Treasure Valley spend a week or a weekend at camp, having an experience that many describe as the best of their lives.
During a week full of adventure, kids are given the chance to build strong friendships, hear the message of Christ’s unconditional love for them and have someone walk alongside them as they take their first steps in pursuing a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Deer Flat has been so fortunate to own Camp Cascade. Our camp Managers, Chuck and Cindy Vincent, do an outstanding job year ‘round hosting various groups, camps, family reunions and specialty weekends. As you can imagine it takes real effort to keep the camp in good shape. Care for the buildings, landscape, upgrades, remodels and other projects are a part of having a camp.

This is where you can be a HUGE blessing.

This Sunday afternoon is our Camp Cascade Auction. It takes place at Deer Flat at 3:00 p.m. This is an avenue that helps us offset the cost of operating Camp Cascade. I want to ask you to help make this year's auction a true success.

There will be both a live and silent auction. There have been some wonderful things donated, and beyond that, we will have some fun. If you have children or a student, if you have grandkids or love to see lives changed, then I would ask you to make this a priority for Sunday afternoon. Your participation will lead to changed lives!  How great is that!

2. I will be at Deer Flat this weekend and can’t wait to see you!  
We’ll be looking at a very significant set of verses from 1 Peter 5.

3. SLEEP IN THIS WEEKEND – TIME CHANGE ISN’T UNTIL NEXT WEEKEND!


Loving you and Him…
