Staff Training is complete… and tomorrow is the first day of camp! This past week we focused on REDEMPTION through a flower pot project. The staff divided into small groups and spent time painting/decorating their pots. With great care and attention to detail they created some very handsome flower pots. Then, I had each group break their pot into pieces. Throughout week of Staff Training the groups spent time together fixing their flower pots with super glue in an effort to redeem their flowery purpose.
We used this shared experience to unite them as a team and discuss the parallels of God’s redemption story (The Bible). The staff dispensed the same diligence and attention to detail as the renewed their flower pots.
The flower pots are being proudly displayed over the fireplace. Even with their cracks, missing pieces, obvious flaws and general messiness… the flower pots have new life in the life, literally!
As we embark on summer 2012 with all of our defects, glue marks and messiness we are excited to see how God gives us purpose and makes new life in and through us!
