This is where we picnicked

Making sure no rocks fell on our head

Well, we survived the hiking trip (and the lots and lots of steps). I hope everyone had a great time. I know I did!! I think everyone's favorite part was playing in the river and going down the mini-waterfall. You all are fearless and made this trip full of lots of memories. I will get everyone some pictures next Sunday. I can't wait for the next trip.

Don't forget to do your lesson this week. We are on Chapter 6. Also, keep memorizing those verses.

HOW DO YOU STAY WARM AND DRY IN THE WOODS??

This is Kyle helping with the trial run.

This is the jungle shelter. It keeps you off the ground and yes, it
will hold you up if done right!

This is the poncho shelter and the quickest one to put up. Brian is testing it out.

Adding dry grass to the skelton of the debris shelter. This shelter

requires no tools.

Great job everyone!!

You all did a great job Sunday. I hope you learned a lot. You'll each get a chance to make these and sleep in them on our camping trip. We missed those of you who weren't there and hope to see you next week. Remember, next week is the hiking trip. Please wear comfortable and cool clothes and sturdy shoes. Also, bring a bag lunch with drink. We will reschedule if it's raining.

As far as the Bible lesson, next week we are on Week 5 part 2. Please do your studies and memorize your verses. Try to remember what we learned today- set your hearts and your mind on things above.

ORIENTEERING

I'm sorry it has taken us so long to update the blog. Here are the three techniques of Orienteering that we learned on Sunday. The first was : Needle/Blade of Grass Compass. The second was: The Watch Shadow Compass. The Third and most reliable was: The Stick Shadow Compass. I know you had a lot of information thrown at you at once but I hope you were able to learn something. If you have any questions about anything just let me know.

As far as the Bible Lesson goes. I hope that you all have been praying for God to reveal to you a ministry and service that you can become involved in and serve in the body of Christ. Remember that : We are one body in Christ

We should share our lives with others

We should serve our Lord

For this Sunday, the lesson is Week 4; Two Natures. Please try and memorize the memory verse. The survival skill will be on Shelter.

***HIKING TRIP***- Next Sunday, August 19th, we will be leaving after church to go on a hiking trip. Please bring a bag lunch and comfortable shoes and cool clothing. More details to come on Sunday.
