An Update from Family Camp

The theme this week has been 'The Hunger Games'. There have been games based on your hunger and thirst for God. They have had some good, deep discussions.

The clients were given wooden 2x4 pieces cut into blocks and they were told to write their burdens on this block at the beginning of the week. They have had to carry this block with their burdens written on it with them everywhere they go and they were told to try and figure out how to get rid it of. Summer Staff, volunteers and staff have offered to take their burden blocks away from them in exchange for extra pool time, an extra snack at canteen or extra free time. But at the end of the day the clients are given their burden blocks back and it is bigger than it was before! So they thought they were getting rid of it but it was not the right way of getting rid of it.

Tonight they are having a bonfire with a Cross set up at the fire and they will be throwing their burden blocks in the fire tonight. So be in prayer for this evening's lesson to touch each heart.
