CAMP IS COMING (part deux)

So, we know this looks like the same front page we had a month ago. But now it's crunch time! We'll need to be planning transportation to and from camp. Senior high camp begins THIS SUNDAY, so we need to know ASAP if you're planning to go. Please give your registration form to us NO LATER THAN June 28 (that's next Monday!), so we can take advantage of the pre-registration cost (after this date costs us $20 more!).
Our congregation believes in the power of Christian camps to change the course of kids' lives, and that is why we are willing to pay HALF of every camp registration fee for each person! The following camps are available at Camp Nebowa:
Extreme (10-12th grades).......June 27-July 2 ............$90 ($45)
Discovery (3-4th grades)....... July 8-10 ......................$60 ($30)
Jam 2 (5-6th grades).............. July 11-16 ................... $90 ($45)
Blast 2 (7-9th grades)............. July 18-23 ...................$90 ($45)
Sports Camp (5-8th grades)....July 25-29 ...................$60 ($30)
Leadership (10-12th grades)...August 4-6 ..................$60 ($30)
Exile (9-12th grades).............. August 6-8 ..................$60 ($30)

SAVE THE DATE! In addition to attending Camp Nebowa, we're also sponsoring a family camp just for our congregation at Camp Cornhusker near Humboldt, NE. Camp Cornhusker is our area scout camp, and features fishing, canoeing, archery, swimming, and hiking. Camp Cornhusker has graciously agreed to keep the camp open for an extra week JUST FOR US! You may bring your family along for tent camping on July 30-31 for the cost of a free will offering. Plan ahead to make this a memorable end to a remarkable summer!

I'm with Him My dad was a Lt. Colonel in the Air Force in the area of communication. When I was 17 years of age he took me to Hunter Airfield in Savannah, Georgia, to look over the operation. Everyone looked at me. I went to the latrine and as I went I would look in the rooms along the way. Men would look up from their desks as I passed and I felt they were thinking "What are you doing in here?" I would, for the most part, stay close to my dad and say, "I'm with him."
Years later while preaching a Revival in Hampton, VA I got to go on Langley Field on the NASA portion. A gentleman from that congregation worked there and showed us around...We went through some areas that if our friend were not with us there was no way we would have been allowed to see the things we saw that day. If anyone would have questioned our reason for being there, believe you me, I was prepared to say, "I'm with him."
One day you and I will die and leave this old world. Then we will face Almighty God, the creator of the Universe. There we will have a guide, Jesus Christ, and I'm going to stick to him like a hand in glove. When we face the Judge of heaven and earth, all we'll need to say is, "I'm with Him."
My, what a difference a relationship with Christ makes. Turn your life over to Him today and then you may say, "I'm with Him." Creighton Beatty, Burlington Christian Church, NC
