And that’s a wrap on our 5th annual summer musical camp!

Yesterday’s performance of Star Quest: Search for the Stolen Scriptures was incredible!

The acting, the singing, the choreography, the set, the costumes, the use of the giant screen, the sound effects, the videos, the lighting!

These students were absolutely amazing and had a blast! And they pulled this together in 9 days, only 3 hrs/day!

Huge thank you to Pastor Caleb Moore for directing every detail of this camp and program. Your talent and work ethic are unmatched.

Also, special shout outs to Jen Brooks on costumes; our assistant directors Kenlea Jamison, Dillon Crook and Bekah Calaway-Habeck; and Abundant Life Church led by Joe & Sara Banks.
