Tomorrow evening at 7:00pm, step into the Sanctuary for Taizé at Saint Barnabas—a quiet, powerful hour of music, prayer, scripture, and stillness.⁠
⁠
Let the gentle chants and candlelight open your heart. Let the silence speak. Come as you are and be renewed in the presence of God. 🕯️🙏⁠

Ahoy Mateys! Today is the 4th day of our adventure

Ahoy Mateys! Today is the 4th day of our adventure! Today, the campers created octopus pizza. They looked delicious and were a lot of fun to make. Today was another fun day at Saint Barnabus! ⁠
⁠
The campers resumed finger-knitting octopuses from yesterday. Campers also learned about how pearls are formed and how they are similar to how people develop their unique characteristics. Today was another day filled with music. Campers learned a new song called Old Captain Jack.⁠
⁠
Today was a great day at camp. Campers enjoyed making pizza, singing new songs, learning meaningful metaphors through pirate stories, and, of course, making new friends. ⁠

Ahoy mateys! 😃 Today marks day three of our adventure! It's been another exciting day at camp, filled with valuable lessons, fun games, and lots of music.⁠
⁠
In the galley 🍴🌴, campers honed their culinary skills by chopping fruits and vegetables to create a delicious salad. They also played a thrilling pirate-themed game called "Who’s the Captain?" where everyone tried to guess the captain's identity. Additionally, campers learned a lively new song with fun hand motions.⁠
⁠
Today, campers discovered the gems ✨ inside each of them—unique talents and qualities that make them special! It's been another adventurous day, and we can't wait to see what tomorrow brings! 🌟⁠

Ahoy mateys! 🌊⚓ Today was day two of our excellent adventure! Campers discovered that God's love shines through, even under the tarnish. They also polished up some items to shine like new!⁠
⁠
In artsy news, our creative crew molded sea creatures out of clay! 🐚🎨 Meanwhile, in the kitchen, they whipped up some delicious seaweed pesto. Yum-o! 🍽️🌿 And let's not forget, they nailed down our camp anthem!⁠
⁠
Today was a blast! 😄 Laughter, joy, and smiles all around made it an unforgettable day at camp. Can't wait for more adventures ahead!⁠
