countdown to camp

Well I leave for camp in just over 12 hours.

I'm going to be driving one of two vans from our church.

I don't know any of the kids and I barely know the youth pastor and his wife.

I wanted to go just to be able to start serving again at Peak. When I was there before (pre-Chicago) I was the [volunteer] youth pastor for a few years. We've been back since last summer and really haven't started serving until last week when I sang on the worship team. I sang on the worship team again today and then we're going to start helping with the nursery on and off in a few weeks. I think we may undertake the college ministry starting this fall...

Well the camp is in Durango and is put on by Student Life. Chris Tomlin will be leading worship and Louie Giglio will be speaking. I'm actually fairly excited to be involved. I want to get to know some of the kids -- hopefully some of the graduating seniors will stay in town and can be part of the college ministry. There are lots of things I love about working with High School students, and camp is certainly a passion of mine.
