The Amazing Race 2009

Camp Cedar Crest was bursting at the seams at this year's 3rd-6th grade summer camp. There were nearly 400 campers and almost 100 group leaders and staff altogether! The theme "The Amazing Race" was based on 1 Corinthians 9:24. Ask any camper and they should be able to quote the verse complete with hand motions.
Over the 5 days and 4 nights, we took part in crazy team competitions, dynamic worship and inspiring messages delivered by Pastor Jason Graves. Our Graceland Kids were challenged to live for God and join the Amazing Race. Take a look at the slideshow! We posted some of the highlights of the trip.
Join us this Saturday, July 11th from noon-4pm at Pastor Rachel's house for Camp Rewind. This will be a great time to enjoy some pool time but also share our favorite stories from camp and give some testimonies about what God did over the 5 days. See you there! 20928 Alaminos Drive, Saugus, 91350 RSVP: 296-1080.

Bible Memory Challenge 2009

It's on, the 10 week summer time challenge to memorize the 66 books of the Bible or 10 Bible verses! For the books of the Bible, you have to be able to recite all 66 books in order without prompting. Sounds simple enough right?!
If you want more of a challenge, memorize one verse each week, come to church and tell us, keep remembering each verse each week and by the end of 10 weeks, you'll have learned 10 memory verses!

The prize is lunch together with Pastor Rachel and another prize that is yet to be revealed. Shhh! It's a secret prize!
