JV Monday Week 2 UPDATE! :)

Monday July 6, 2015

The second week of JV Camp is in full swing!  Campers had a fantastic weekend highlighted by
the Bible Trivia Challenge, the Great JV Race, fireworks on the lake, messy games, and the Solid
Rock Café talent show.  Be sure to take a look at all of the great pictures!  We greatly appreciate
our friends at the Forsyth Township volunteer fire department for supplying us with the water
for the giant mud pit!

This week we have two new speakers and a new worship team.  In the mornings, Dan
Dominguez is speaking on the “I AM” statements of Jesus from the book of John.  Dan is the
Family Pastor at River City Church in Batavia, Illinois.  In the evenings, Aaron Paul is speaking out
of the book of 2 Timothy.  Aaron and his family live outside of Dallas, Texas.  For both morning
and evening chapel, Joshua Haynes, Jason Liguori, and Megan McHugh are leading worship. 
Joshua is the Pastor of Student Ministries at Lake Pointe Bible Church in Plymouth, Michigan. Jason and Megan are serving as counselors this week.

Later this morning, campers will continue their Team Challenge activities.  I would like to tell a
little bit more about two of these challenges.  First, each team is able to use the Zip Line.  Located on the back 40 acres of UPBC property, the Zip Line challenges campers to take steps of faith as they climb up to the platform and step off for an amazing flight through the forest.  Following the activity, the Zip Line staff lead campers in a discussion about how taking steps of faith on the Zip Line is similar to taking steps of faith in our daily lives.  Another team challenge is to rehearse for skits.  At the end of each week, 5 teams will perform a skit where they have to present a humorous performance that ends with a specific scene.  For example, teams were given specific skit endings include “flying a plane,” “getting locked in a bathroom,” “working as a pest exterminator,” or “living on Noah’s Ark.”  Judges will evaluate teams on their creativity, humor, and overall participation.  Skits always make for a great night!
