Monday’s Bible verse was: John 15:1-2 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.  He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.”

Our Main Idea is that God is the Gardner and that he is the Creator of the world.  He watches over us and protects us just as a Gardner tends to his garden.  We talked about how we all have sinned and how God sent his son Jesus as the gift of eternal life.  Romans 6:23 and John 3:16

Monday evenings assembly, we divided into teams of 4 for our evening competitions.  The girls made up a team name and cheer.  We had the “Pink Lemonade”, “Jolly Green Giants, ” Sunflower Power” and the “Mavericks”.  The cheers were really cute and creative.  We then jumped onto the hay wagons to the horse pavilion to take part in the Human Rodeo.  Human Rodeo included: Shovel race, three leg race, broomstick horse race, water bucket relay among others.  After we had a snack of watermelon and fed the rinds to the camels that were roaming nearby.  The girls went back to their cabins to get ready for bed and begin their chapter book “Change of Heart” about a couple of girls going to summer camp.

Day one was great, full of fun and laughter!!
