It’s called Summer Music and Arts Camp for Kids and is sponsored by the MS Baptist Convention. \u00a0It was really quite amazing. \u00a0The camp began with registration on Monday afternoon. \u00a0With games, worship services, and group meetings aside, the kids managed to memorize a musical, drama and all, and present it Thursday night for family and friends. \u00a0The different worship arts included voice, interpretive movement, drama, puppets, black light expression, rhythm instruments, keyboard and handbells. \u00a0The kids signed up for one of these and for 1 hr on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, worked on a designated song within the musical and thus became a part of the overall presentation. \u00a0The kids just did a super job.<\/p>\n
There were two worship services a day and the kids were very responsive to everything I did. \u00a0Because each church had one of their staff members present, we did not have an altar call, as such, but rather encouraged them to talk with that staff member or leader. \u00a0Although I wasn’t given a precise number of professions of faith, I was told there were “numerous” decisions for Christ. \u00a0I’m so grateful!<\/p>\n
We are going to be hermits for the next several days as I have been placed on self imposed vocal rest. \u00a0I have nothing left but a very deep and raspy voice. \u00a0With yet another camp beginning next week, I am staying put, trying to get as much rest as possible and preparing for His plan next week.<\/p>\n
On the Yazoo City front, the doctor has not come up with a treatment plan for Patty’s dad. \u00a0He went over, as you are aware, to Jackson to find out the plan of attack and the doctor wanted one more week. \u00a0So…………he was given a stronger dose of Prednisone, of which we aren’t particularly pleased, and scheduled to go back this Tuesday, the 23rd, when he WILL, according to the doc, receive a treatment of some sort. \u00a0The tumor is still evident as is the feeling of a new tumor in the front of his throat. \u00a0We sure would be grateful for your prayers on his behalf and for the doctor. \u00a0Thank you.<\/p>\n
Well, that’s about it. \u00a0Thank you for checking in with us and keeping us in your prayers!
