Wednesday Morning Bible Study — God Fits My Tolerance

Wednesday Morning Flagpole: God Fits My Tolerance
This morning kitchen staff member Andy Harrison led our thoughts around the flagpole and introduced us to today’s theme: God Fits My Tolerance. To tolerate is to endure; to bear one another.

Goodnight from MSC Sr. Week, Day 2
Before retiring for the evening, we’d like to reflect on Day 2 of MSC Sr. Week. Although we got some rain overnight last night, as the day progressed, we heard more news from the Indianapolis area of severe storms, wind damage, and power outages, but we were very fortunate at Shakamak to have missed the storms. We had a…

For our Tuesday evening worship service, Neil Tremblett, who works with the congregation at Greenwood, came and spoke to us about how our relationship with God matters because time is short (I Corinthians 7:29-31, 26).

Crafting Fun
Craft Director Julie Essary and helper Laura McGaughey are really helping the campers’ creative sides flourish. Yesterday campers began working on a team craft decorating their team captains’ Team Day t-shirts. The teams will continue working on these shirts throughout tomorrow. Today they began individual crafts by decorating cork board squares.
