SUMMER CAMP 2023
Wander West
The Road to Silver City
Outlaws, twisters, and buzzards! Oh my! Saddle up with our young hero as he faces a fantastical yet familiar wild west! Whether we’re facing crazy critters, blundering bandits, or a fearsome foe, God looks for an honorable spirit. Join us as we accept this biblical call to action; remain set apart and ready for any challenge!
“Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.” 2 Timothy 2:21
