🌞 Mid-Summer Blessing
Halfway There!
It’s hard to believe we’ve reached the halfway point.
Already there are stories we’ll never forget, names we’ll always remember, and moments that have quietly changed us.
Loving God,
Thank you for bringing us this far.
Thank you for the laughter that has echoed through church halls and playgrounds.
For friendships that have grown quickly.
For scraped knees, painted hands, camp songs, silly dances, and holy moments hidden inside ordinary days.
Thank you for every camper who has reminded us how to wonder.
For every leader who has given a little more than they thought they had.
For every volunteer and host community whose kindness has made belonging possible.
As we continue this journey, renew our spirits.
When we are tired, give us rest.
When plans change, give us flexibility.
When the days feel long, remind us that even small acts of kindness can change someone’s story.
Help us keep gathering around your love—
one game,
one conversation,
one child,
one moment at a time.
May we continue to notice your Spirit in sunshine and puddles alike.
Amen. 💛
What a beautiful first half of the summer it has been! Here’s to the adventures still ahead, the friendships yet to grow, and the many moments of wonder, laughter, grace, and belonging that are still waiting for us.
