I told you at the end of the summer I would be able to share all of our worships with you and, so here it goes. Our theme as I previously mentioned was Let Go and Let God, which was specifically the theme I wanted for our camp this summer. I know it has spoke volumes in my past and I truly believed it would be super helpful for our campers. Also, my job as a lead program is to directly facilitate all worships and so I'm super proud of the role I took in not only helping design the worships, but making sure each was implemented in the way we planned. Also, as a side note we pray, read scripture, and sing in all of our worships, but I am only going to talk about the "meat" of each worship.
Sunday Night: Letting Go of Expectations
On Sunday we began our week by trying to let go of expectations in life. Our Sunday worship was our biggest worship to set up, which was honestly ironic as Sunday is already your hardest day in a lot of ways. So, what we did was take a Queen size sheet to a mattress and painted a cross across it and Let God on the top. Then we took another Queen size sheet and Velcroed it to the first one, but cut into to four pieces. The four pieces each had something different written on them. The first has No Children to relate to Abraham's story of not expecting Children, the second said No Help as the injured man on the side of the road would have never expected a Samaritan to offer help, the third said to sink, as Peter was fully expecting to sink when he walked onto the water, and lastly death was painted on one because as the two Mary's came to the tomb they were expecting to find a dead body, but instead found a risen God. As these bible stories were ready each of the four corners were ripped off slowly displaying the Let God, bottom sheet. Once all scriptures were shared I came forward to and explained them as well as also giving an example of my expectations in where I would go to college and how that changed and briefly giving examples of what type of expectations they might have in their lives. After this we asked them to each come up and sign their names to the sheet in paint. If you have been looking through my pictures there is a great picture of the finished product of this worship.
Monday Night: Letting Go of Fakeness
On Monday night we went a little more simple and did a skit of a girl going through a day at school. She chats with her friends about a bad weekend party, making fun of other kids, goes to lunch and is pulled in a lot of different directions to please people, she has to wake up extremely early to get ready for school, and she is very good at volleyball and will probably go to college for it. However, she doesn't want any of this. She doesn't really want to get up early and would care a lot less about how she looked. She doesn't want to partake in making fun of people or weekend parties and even shopping and playing video games with her friends, she would much rather spend time painting which is what she likes to do. She even hates volleyball and doesn't want to go to school for it! She finally realizes this and then asked to let go of all of those fake things. Molly is the main girl in the skit and basically does most of this worship, so us as a staff would call it By golly Miss Molly Mondays!
