ART CAMP 2019
July 29 – August 2
8:45 AM to 12:15 PM
"Consider the Birds and Flowers!"
1st thru 7th grade completed
Art Camp 2019 has finished.
Join us for Art Camp Sunday at 10am!
Whether you already have a church home or not, we are hoping that everyone will join us tomorrow morning for a special service of worship in which we celebrate and give thanks for a great week of Art Camp.
Come hear what your children have been learning from the Sermon on the Mount as Pastor Taylor speaks on, “Don’t Be Anxious; Consider the Birds and the Flowers!” We’ll also take a moment before the service to recognize all the kids, teachers, helpers, parents etc who participated in Art Camp, and we’ll conclude the service by singing the hymn the children learned all week: “Children of the Heavenly Father.”
Finally, please join us after the service for an informal luncheon in the fellowship hall, during which we’ll take time to share favorite memories and experiences from Art Camp. Children, parents, teachers, and helpers alike are encouraged to come prepared to share (if you want). This will also be an opportunity to thank the teachers and helpers for their hard work, and to thank the kids for their hard work! We are truly blessed to have such a great group of kids this year, and we’d love this opportunity to thank them and their parents!

Being a Child Changes Everything
I shared last week that one of my all-time favorite hymns is “All Creatures of our God and King.” I love how it invites the saints to join in with the ongoing chorus of creation that sings to God’s glory: And all ye saints of tender heart, Forgiving others, take your part, O sing ye, alleluia!…
The Theology of Baking Bread
I am deeply persuaded that God created human beings to sing so that we could join in with the ongoing chorus of creation that sings to his glory. I just love the verses that describe creation singing to the glory of God…
Journey to the Cross: March of Redemption
In the Bible, we are instructed to remember and revisit the death of Jesus again and again: “For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.” (1 Corinthians 11:26) I don’t know about you, but…
Singing the Beatles to My Dying Mom
You might have heard me tell this story before. Every Saturday night, my siblings and I would take a bath and then deliver our shoes to our dad to be polished, all in preparation for the Sunday morning service at the Toledo Gospel Tabernacle…
Sing with the Trees and Seas
God created us to be singing people. All you need to do is just listen for a few minutes to the human beings and human culture around you, and you’ll hear singing all the time. We sing at birthdays, and we sing at funerals. We sing at weddings, and we sing at sporting events…
What happens when we look closely at birds and flowers? We find a thousand wonders that inspire awe, delight and beautiful works of art! And according to the famous Sermon on the Mount, we find this wonderful surprise: a remedy for worry and fear. Join us for New Hope’s Art Camp 2019 as we put into practice Jesus’ teaching to “consider the birds of the air”, to “consider the flowers of the field” (Matthew 6:26,28) and as we discover God’s marvelous care for His creation—and especially for His dear children.
As in previous years, every day will be packed with art—opportunities to get creative with painting, weaving, dessert decorating, and flower sculpting—just to name a few! Mark your calendar for July 29-August 2. We look forward to seeing you!
