No, our summer camp theme isn’t about bug-eyed intruders from outer space. But close! This year we’ll be challenging our campers to be in the world, but “not of the world.” (John 17:16) Focusing on the story of Abraham, who was “an alien in the land of promise,” (Hebrews 11:9), we’ll be reminding the students that we too are called to live as “strangers and exiles on the earth.” (Hebrews 11:13) As Christians, we have an identity, a future and a mission that set us apart from the world and its lusts. Our Lord calls us to be so different, so counter-cultural, that while we may not have tentacles and ray-guns, we almost might as well. So, that’s what this year’s theme is all about. Now let the invasion begin!
