Questions from Creation is our theme during Junior Week (July 27 - August 1) at Camp Patmos.
Throughout the week we are going to be looking at some questions from Creation. These questions are designed to help us dig into God's Word and Worship Him! We are also going to connect these questions with four character qualities that will help us worship God.
Monday evening's question is "Why was the world created?"
Tuesday's character quality is HUMILITY.
In the morning the kids will hear from the camp missionary David Lee.
In the evening we will be looking at the question "Who created this world?"
Wednesday's character quality is FAITHFULNESS.
"How was this world created?" is the morning chapel's question.
In the evening we will answering the question "Who is man?"
Thursday's character quality is SELFLESSNESS.
As we get to the end of the week, Thursday morning's question is "Why rest?"
Our question Thursday evening is "Why can't we get along?"
To close out the week we are going to look at SELF-CONTROL.
The questions this last day are "What was & is man to do and not do?" and "How did & has God blessed man?"
Each day you can check back here to see what we are going to talk about! I will also try to include some general prayer requests for each day.
It is my prayer that during each day the God-glorifying, Christ-centered answers to these questions will challenge the campers to examine their lives in light of what God says in His Word and provided for us in His Son!
You can check back here each day to find out what we are studying and how you can pray.
Here is a song to help you and your child focus on what we will be doing in chapel!!
The main premise of the movie is spot-on: we should be aware of our emotions, and each emotion has value. Joy, the quarterback of the team, believes it’s their collective goal to make Riley always happy. When Sadness tries to have a word, Joy responds with sweet control: “This is really the opposite of what we’re going for.” [Mild spoiler alert] But, through a series of events, she learns that Sadness has a necessary role too (and by implication, so do Fear, Anger, and Disgust). The audience sees by the end that happiness is not the only goal of emotional health.
And that’s a good lesson that a biblical theology of personhood would agree with. The full spectrum of emotion is part of our design, and should be acknowledged and expressed in healthy ways. But to what end do we acknowledge our emotions? To simply find the value in our sadness as well as our joy?
