Camp Dress Code

Hey all,

I just wanted to put up a quick note about the camp's dress code.
Basically, if they had to place their ideal dress into one word it would be "modest." They use it in every sentence they send to me about dress.

Girls:
I know you are all good little Christian girls, but for some reason, girls your age don't tend to dress like it!!! Basically, if you would not wear it at church, don't bring it to camp.

- No bear mid shirts
- No shoulders can show ... that means only t-shirts (no tank tops or spaghetti straps)
- No ridiculously short shorts
(they want shorts to be no higher than the
tip of the fingers when you drop your arms down)
- One piece bathing suits or a two piece accompanied by a dark shirt

All you need to do is cover up. That's all the camp would ask of you guys ... I know you'll all do fine, but i just had to post this cause the camp asked me to. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE NOTE the info in the parentheses. I know it sounds pretty intense, but you have to follow their code or you'll be asked to change!

Guys:
Guys, don't be stupid :)

- No sagging
- Wear a shirt everywhere (except in the pool)
- No inappropriate t-shirts


THANKS GUYS!!!!!
-Chris

Summer Camp Here We Come!!!!!

Well hello all,

I just wanted to let you all know that Summer Camp is coming and it is coming ridiculously quick. We will be headed to Green Valley Lake though Calvary Costa Mesa's program, which makes it a bit easier for us. We do have limited spaces, so sign up quick!!! The camp is absolutely worth going to, and the facility is absolutely beautiful. I went to Calvary for 13 years, so I have been there a fair amount of times. Obviously there is a focus on growing closer to God and progressing in our faith, but there will be plenty of free time to go to the lake, ride go-karts, slide down the zip-line, and eat (which is my favorite). Hopefully all of you who want to go can make it!!! If there are any parents that would like to help carpool us all up there, please get a hold of me and let me know ASAP so i can plan accordingly.

the price (per camper): $250.00
the dates: July 26th - August 1st

If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask! :)
OHHH!!! and pick up a flyer at the Amped room too

See you all very soon
God Bless

Amped Update (Just Cause i wanted to)

Well Hello everyone, 
I just thought I'd take some time this beautiful Saturday afternoon and post an update for Amped. Well if you didn't know, we just finished James two weeks ago ... sooooo we are now studying the book of Philippians which looks like it's going to be a wonderful wonderful study for all of us to take what we've learned in James and apply it to spreading the Joy of the Lord wherever we go. Of course, we can all agree that its a wonderful thing to do. So that's Sundays ...

So the Weekend's over right? Yeah, it is ... bummer. Well the next big event issssss .... drum roll please .... SUMMER CAMP 09. We put in a reservation to Calvary Costa Mesa's amazing summer camp program. As far as we are concerned, the dates are July 26th-August 1st ... so mark it down in your calandars.  Of course there's much more info to come, so I'll be sure to keep you all posted :)

Lastly, I am now an Uncle ... Uncle Chris ... it's amazing. I got to see my little nephew yesterday which was absolutely breath taking. He's so little ... and he has tiny tiny fingernails which i thought were really funny.Unfortunately, Baby Chase isn't doing so hot. He's basically in ICU for babies for reasons that i really don't know the details to. But if there is something i do know, it's that you all know about the last message in James and the Power of Prayer. If you could just keep him in your prayers, that would be the most amazing thing.

As Luke (Little Chris) always says --- "God is good, God is Great"
