Youth Camping at P.J. Hoffmaster State Park

We had a great time camping at Hoffmaster and visiting with Dale and Barb in early July.  Sunsets and devotion time were pretty cool too!  We pondered whether you can be spiritual but not religious and discovered that since God made us to be in relationship, it’s important to have both aspects alive in one’s life to fulfill God’s calling on our individual lives.  In a nutshell, you can experience God in a sunset (spiritual), but relationship (religious/churchgoing) comes from sharing that experience, or any experience, with God and others. That’s ministry!

A big thank you to Pastor Dale for our hike through the park, and for introducing us to his and Barb’s favorite ice cream stand.  Thank you to Jenny Gibb and Jon Wenzel for assisting with transportation and chaperoning. Perhaps this will become an annual event???
