A summer day camp for children will be hosted by Bethel Baptist Church in High Prairie from Aug. 12-16 at the church.
Operation Forever: Discover Eternity with Jesus is the theme for the day camp that is free to attend.
Pastor Matthew Peters and leaders invite children ages 5-10 years to the camp scheduled each day from 1-3 p.m.
“We want to shine the light of Christ – who is the truth – to these children,” Peters says.
“We want to be an example to them and also for them to have fun with other children and enjoy stories, songs, crafts and games.”
On the opening day, Aug. 12, children are requested to arrive at noon to register. The afternoon sessions will feature a one-hour Bible lesson mixed with songs, and Bible scripture.
Following that, the final hour will include crafts and games. Children will be split into groups for younger and older children.
Peters says prizes will also be given away to children for their attendance and memorizing scripture verses.
Snacks and refreshments will be served at the end of each day.
