J.R. Bronger, who works with the congregation at Danville, along with his lovely wife Sue were our special guests this morning as J.R. came to teach our Bible class.

This morning, kitchen staffer Bruce Carpenter directed our thoughts around the flagpole prior to breakfast. Being Independence Day, he pointed out how this is the only “true American holiday.” On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was signed, declaring war with the British nation. It has been said that “freedom is NOT FREE.” There has been tremendous loss…

Goodnight from MSC Sr. Week, Day 4

This morning following breakfast, our schedule deviated from the norm a little. Today offered a little more downtime for campers, and they even got a reprieve from cleaning their cabins this morning, therefore no Golden Dustpan Awards today. During breakfast, Kollin Sokeland was the recipient of a Paper Plate “#1 Gopher” award because he is consistently a runner to…

Fan-favorite event Air Raid took place on the lower sports field this afternoon. All teams entered combat and dodged obstacles as they attempted to cross the finish line without being struck by a sniper’s sodden ball. Once each soldier crossed the finish line and deposited his/her life (a golf ball) into a bucket, they continued to run to return…

Sr. Week introduced a brand new event today: ultimate Frisbee (which is similar to soccer, but played with a Frisbee instead of a ball). A team scored a point once a teammate passed the Frisbee to a fellow-teammate in the opposing team’s end zone. The event got rave reviews, although many admitted it was very difficult due to constant running. During…

Prior to a late lunch, the Group 3 boys led the campers and staff in a song and scripture service. It was truly a blessing to gather together in the amphitheater to praise God and learn from His Word. The service went as follows: Matthew 6:25-34: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all…
