Friday, June 14th: Half-Day Projects, YRG Celebrations and Last-Day Traditions

Today I worked hard on staining three porches. But after our hard day of work we came back to camp, headed to the amazing showers then ate an amazing dinner. Next we headed to the campfire and the annual fish hook service. We had lots of fun when we had our yrg celebration. I found God in all of my new friends and all the ups and downs in the projects we accomplished. Thanks for reading our blog posts.

Today was our last day here on the mountain. It was a special day for us all. We were all strangers at the beginning of week, but at the worship service tonight, with all the tears and hugs, one would never have guessed that when we rolled into the camp we only knew the 17 other DSO teenagers. My YRG got to return to the house of Mr. Cordell Holcomb today. He was an inspiration to us all, had an unwavering faith and taught us all so much about carpentry. I had a blast celebrating the week with my YRG today at Mayhews Pottery. I found God today in the love that was brought out of all of us. We grew as a Mountain TOP community, a diocese and a youth group. Thank you so much for giving us this wonderful opportunity to grow in our faith. It was a fabulous week and I will miss this place dearly.

Thanks for everything,

For Saturday June 15th:  O God, our heavenly Father, whose glory fills the whole creation, and whose presence we find wherever we go:  Preserve those who travel; surround them with your loving care; protect them from every danger; and bring them in safety to their journey’s end; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.
