What a great time we had @ The Ridge this past week! It was IMPACT Sports and Arts Camp Week and it was awesome! We had camps for soccer, wrestling, baseball, sewing, and hip-hop dance. Each night the kids spent an hour in skills, drills and instruction. Then the second hour was spent in what we called “jam session” where there was music and a skit which tied together the theme of the week: Faith. Following that, was small group sessions where we had a chance to look at scripture and reinforce and apply the teaching. Then we had another hour of skill development. Thursday night we ended the week all together for FamJam, our Family Worship Extravaganza!  Overall it was a great week! 59 kids participated and on Thursday 204 parents and kids participated in FamJam. We also had 4 kids baptized Thursday night! Dozens of volunteers from the Ridge were joined by a group of about 20 high school youth from Gray United Methodist Church in Gray, GA. These kids came a ministered in  our community all week and did an awesome job! Thanks to Jason Wade and his team for an outstanding job! Thanks to all you Ridgers who gave of your time this week to make and IMPACT on families in our community! Also, thanks and big props toWendell and to Brenton Lehman, our summer intern, for running point on this event. He came in the last week of May and hit the ground running on IMPACT Week and made it happen. Great job! Big Impact!
