Camp Hamer (SAC) Update

It’s not everything I typed out the first time, mostly what I could remember… If I remember anything else, I’ll post…

*EDIT – sorry no pics from me…. I didn’t bring a camera

Well, I guess A LOT of you are waiting for me to post “PHILEO RULES!!!” 😎 so you Crossroaders 🙄 can comment “TRAITOR!” but I’m not going to cuz Mike and Terence knows it’s true! Muhahahahahahaah. Ok ok… Crossroads RULES too! I miss Crossroads and you all sooo much, but I’ll get to see some of you senoirs (WHOOHOO!) this summer! 😆 Yay!!!!

So this weekend was EXACTLY what I needed. I just needed to get away from all these distractions I have and hear what God has to teach me. Camp brought back soooo many past Camp Hammer memories, and made many new ones this time. Thanks Mike for opening up this camp to the Phileans.

I don’t know where to begin, so much to say and still meditating on a lot of what Pastor John talked about.

Well, first off, I want to thank Amy Y., Dc. Sam, and Greg for coming and showing our Phileo pride! Good bonding times together… Hope we can continue to grow together in Christ!

Also, a BIG thanks to ALL the Crossroads counselors, for all that you hae done for the youth ministries… Especially Mike! I know how much you have to do and put up with, so major props to you! :cool:.

I guess what I learned most about Pastor John was not what I learned that impacted me most (if that makes any sense…) It’s what am I going to DO about what I learned. So what I am going to DO is read His word more! I want to memorize the whole book of Ephesians, because someday, it WILL be useful…

Had a great time with the team games, GO BLACK TEAM!!! hahah I still can’t believe we got “Larry the Cucumber” as a Christian artist… And I got super sore from carrying Amanda downhill, and uphill because I was weak…. Ask Derek, I was seriously shaking while eating lunch, and so slowly…

Oh yea, Greg and I played Pastor Gary AND Pastor John in Foosball, and we got SLAUHGTERED! It was over in under 5 minutes! We didn’t stand a chance…. Oh well, at least we scored two points! 😆

Had lots of time to jam and sing songs, and I really like the Camp Hammer theme song, so props to those who helped write it. Some other songs that really captured me during worship were Unfailing Love and Glory… great songs…

Camp Fire sharing – That was just such an encouraging time… I was thankful for that because I got to say my goodbye to Pastor Gary and Tracy, and for EVERYTHING they have done for Crossroads and for me as well. I think PG was one of the most influencial person in my life and I am so grateful that God allowed him and family to come to CBCSJ for a while. So THANKS again PG and Tracy if you are reading this. 😉

BAD – (Brothers Appreciation Dinner) Great job to all the sisters who prepared for that night, it was just awesome! As Mike said, we had the BEST servers! haha It was weird and humbling at the same time though, because I’m use to serving others, and not used to others serving me like that. So felt really appreciatied! I do feel bad for Donna, who served Jeff…. I don’t think I need to add anything else to that…hahah… But, seriously, thanks for the wonderful night! BTW Melody, Oxi-Clean works super well with dressing staings :wink:!.

And sorry for ALL those who I didn’t get to write on your encouragement cards! I can’t write that fast hahah and there were too many for me…

Hmm…I know I want to say more, but I’ll post that maybe later today…
