On July 13, six youth and their Youth Pastor, Dennis Chappell, traveled to Buckhannon, West Virginia, for the church’s first trip to Centrifuge in a long time. The weather was wonderful and the trip up uneventful. There were over 300 youth and adults who enjoyed the fun-filled week. The rooms were very nice; however, there was no air conditioning. With temperatures predicted to be in the 90’s most days, they immediately went on a “mission trip” to the local Wal-mart in search of fans. Each day started with breakfast at 7:30 a.m. and activities, games, Bible study, and rallies throughtout the day and evening until lights out at 11:30 p.m. Camp participants were divided up by age into eight “teams”. Each team met together in Bible study each morning and competed against each other during recreation time. Meals were provided by WV Wesleyan College, and everyone seemed to enjoy the “buffet” at every meal. Although there was a wide variety of good food, pizza was always a favorite and there were long lines each day it was served. The afternoon activities allowed students to participate in several “tracks” of choice, including softball, water games, film making, jewelry making, duct tape art, and a variety of outdoor games. The theme for the week was “Faith on the Move.” The speaker for the week was R.D. McCleneagan. He challenged the youth each day (morning and evening) to put their faith into action, just as Moses did when he led the children of Israel to the Promised Land. An invitation was given on Thursday and Friday nights, and well over 30 youth responded to the challenge. From our group, there was one profession of faith! Praise the Lord! What a great way to wrap up a week! We are already making plans for next year’s trip! Thanks to all of you for your financial and prayer support of our youth. Continue to pray for those who made decisions as they deal with the realities of the world and the peer pressure they face every day. Pray that youth will continue to keep their faith “on the move”.
