Welcome to "Here and Now!"

This came about at an end of summer meeting with the Bible Instructors from all three camps (Moose Lake, Koinonia and Assiniboia) and we were thinking of ways to extend that "summer feel." After summer, for campers (and staff), the high that we find ourselves on often disappears. We made memories at camp, we sang, we learned, we laughed, we ran! We were able to see God in nature, in each other, in the things we learned and now….it's back to every day life. Sigh. Every day life is often challenging, boring and it's often hard to see God. But guess what (even if you already know this, it's good to be reminded!)?! God is in the every day stuff! God continues to work and to love and to take care of you…whether you can see it or not. Isn't that fantastic?

"Here and Now" is a space where staff from this past summer will take a minute or two to share about the spaces and places that they were able to see God in their own lives and in their every day interactions. It might happen on the bus, in the classroom at school, at church or youth group, at the grocery store or simply walking down the street. God is everywhere, and there are a few staff who want to tell you about it. Sometimes, we need reminders of where God is in other's peoples lives when things are not going so well in our own lives….or even if things are going great in our own life, God is still at work!!! So, read and enjoy…make comments or share your own experiences.

Side note: This is on a bit of trial basis. We are going to make this happen (ie post about 2 times a month) until next summer…hopefully enough of you will use it and enjoy it and inform others about it….and if it all works, we'll keep it going next year. :)
