What do you get when you put 120 kids, 30 plus adults, silly songs, drum sticks, pizza, bananas, games, chocolate milk, stones, pretzels, water bottles, popsicles, and BACON together? Day 1 of E-Camp!
What an amazing day of SEEKing after the one true God who created us to worship! I have the privilege of speaking to all campers during one of the morning break out sessions: Grasp It. David and Goliath are the subjects. Do you know how tall Goliath was? By the end of the week, your camper should be able to tell you.
We all have giants in our lives; the sins that so easily entangle us. Daily SEEKing God with our voices, eyes, minds, and hearts will protect us from those giants. The 5 smooth stones serve as a reminder that God has given us 31,103 verses in his word to use as our weapons. Memorize them and hide them in your heart to bring out in times of struggle. What an awesome tool God has given us to fight off our giants! The white stone is a reminder of the stone we will receive with a new name written on it that no one knows except the one who receives it. (Rev 2:17) I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get my new name!
The lions may grow weak and hungry but those who
seek the Lord lack no good thing. Psalm 34:10.

Grasp It!
What an incredible experience for these kids to do what David did and choose their 5 smooth stones. They are equipped with the gospel message to stand up to their giants with the strength of the Lord!
