Sunday, May 30, 2010

Good Morning e-campers! We are 8 days from the official start of e-camp and the anticipation is mounting!! We are SUPER excited to see what God has in store for each of you in this jam packed week of worship and praise! A few items for you and your parents to be aware of....

We need your Registration Forms filled out and in our possession before the first day of camp. You can drop them by the church office this week, Tuesday-Friday.

Our campers are being prayed for by name!

e-camp has a group on facebook. Look us up and join. There are pictures posted from last year and we will post pictures and give updates their during e-camp 2010 as well!

Please email us if you have any questions or concerns.... (or if you need us to send you the Registration Forms via email) ecamp@fbctn.org

Your statutes are the songs in the house of my pilgrimage. Psalm 119:54
