Looking Back on a Busy Summer...

After looking back through the blog posts by Calvary's staff the last few months, I realized I'VE FAILED! I have not posted much in the way of Youth, Children's and Family Ministry, mostly because we've been so busy! Anyway, to make up for it, here's a few pictures of life for the past few months...

Boundary Waters Trip:
Our High School students had an amazing week in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness on the Minnesota/Canada border. Here's a few pics from that...

















Vacation Bible School:
This year's Vacation Bible School was a huge, huge success. We had a wonderful group of counselors from Lutherdale Bible Camp, an extremely gifted group of volunteers that helped throughout the week, and, of course, great kids! Here's a picture of the group that took part in VBS Daycamp 2010: Keeping the Earth:









Confirmation Retreat:
11 of our Middle School students and 4 adults traveled to Camp Lutherdale for a weekend of reflection, fun, games and more. We did a low ropes course, had some lakefront time, played a few games of Capture the Flag, ate S'mores, and, of course, stayed up late talking. Our rising 9th grade students worked on their confirmation faith statements and planned their Affirmation of Baptism service. Here's the best picture from the retreat: the boys trying to cover up their 'bed head' first thing in the morning!











Calvary's Softball Team:
Finally, we can celebrate with the members of Calvary's Softball Team - they won their league championship in a close game! Here's a picture of the team:









Hope you'll join us for our end-of-summer fellowship, Cal's Drive-In Featuring the Four Guyz in Dinner Jackets.
