You should have seen Charles Page trying to learn how to swim at Ohio Youth Camp. It was a sight to behold! I’m jus sayin!
I received several swim trophies at Tenn youth camp
We raised our 3 sons in Okla. & La. Church of God Youth Camps & both of us for almost 40 yrs. had various positions, as Counselors, KP, Crafts, Nurse station & wherever needed & in La. I coached a Jr. Talent participant. Also, I was baptized 66 by Bro. Lamar Vest in an Oklahoman Youth Camp & was honored again when he issued my husbands & prayed for him in the late 90s when he became an Ordained Bishop & I shared Bro. Vest.
My grandson Dillon took a lot of candy with him. I didn’t know he has. Got a call the second day. He had up Chucked in his sleeping bag. I went and got him. Washed the bag and drove him back. It was about an hour there and hour back. No candy when I took him back, that was at the State camp grounds in Weatherford, Texas
My wife’s family ran a penecostal youth camp for 40 years, and once the guest evangelist wanted to thank Harold Butz’s wife and sister for fixing up his cabin so nicely. So at the start of an adult camp meeting asked if the 2 ladies with Harry Butz would please stand up. Sheepishly they did , and the evangelist was laughing so hard at himself, he had trouble preaching seriously.
Get right with God.
I like it
Did you ever get invitations after giving out your business card?
I have known of COG pastors that kept pistols at their church office but unfortunately used it on themselves when overly depressed.
It’s a different world and different times.
Unfortunately with shootings in churches today I think it’s a good idea if at least one person is carrying. Could save a lot of lives. Even 10 or 20 years ago who would’ve thought.
I know of a lot of old preachers who carried guns, everywhere. It doesn’t mean that someone doesn’t have faith.
Lots of people got killed in church business meetings!
Wise as serpents harmless as doves
Luke 11:21
When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
Common sense and faith.
I have two layman in my church with law enforcement backgrounds bring their guns to church every Sunday. I feel as Pastor I must do everything that I can to protect the people. In this day and age we live in anything can happen.
Over the last year or two between 70 & 80 Americans are dying per day from gunshot wounds, suicidal, accidental and homicidal. What if anything can the church do about this?
Great compassion. That’s great.
