A Change in Tune

by Bethany Larson

This week the elementary summer program has not been in session because many of our kids are attending Southwood Lutheran’s Day Camp all week. They have been busy each day learning new songs, making fishing hats in arts and crafts, playing water games outside and so much more! Each day as I bring kids home, it is a quiet ride as one or two doze off from their fun-packed day.

It has also been encouraging to see City Impact kids get along with the other classmates in their group. Some are in groups where they did not know anybody else coming into the camp. They have adjusted very well and have come to make friends with the other kids.

Wednesday night, the campers and their parents were invited to a campfire at Wilderness Park. I was honored to be able to take a couple of girls. The whole way to the park, at the park, and from the park they were singing the new praise songs that they had learned together! It was awesome to see and hear a change in tune from the hot-list songs on the radio they all know. They would belt as loud as they could, “Praise the Lord with a sounding trumpet!” Now, that is what I call praise!
