So since our last update, much has occurred:
-On August 8, we held our annual "Iron Chef" competition. The "Snapple Apples" took the prize in "Battle Sandwich," winning by a mere 3 points.
-On the 14th, we had our annual banquet where we fellowshipped with some good food...Arroz con pollo, pico de gallo, etc. It was a spanish theme, can you tell?? Ole!
-Also that evening, we held our Summer Staff talent show...seems as if not too many staffers clued in parents as only a couple showed up.
-We are mourning the loss of Cameron, our snack shop supervisor, and Will (teen ministry) who had to return to school while celebrating the addition of new staff: Katie (dining room), Novella (dining room), Yvonne (children's ministry) and Emily (snack shop supervisor).
We are nearing the end of the summer season. I can't believe that Labor Day is only 3 weeks away! Eeeek! At the end of this week, we lose a lot of staffers to schools starting early. As the group disbands and returns home, pray for their adjustment from Keswick life to home life. Often times, the transition can be difficult. Also pray for those of us left here...we still have departments to run, guests to serve, and learning to do. Pray for energy and perseverance to finish well. God has done some mighty work this summer, and I'm looking forward to continuing to see Him teach us!
Until next time!
