| Unforgettable Experiences at Sports Camp |
“Put your hands in the sky, Oh Yeah!”  “We like to move it move it!” “Tell the world that Jesus lives!” Here are just a few of the lyrics from some of the songs surely still playing in the heads of tons of area youngsters (as well as volunteers) who attended the Amelia Church of Christ Beyond the Gold Sports Camp at Batavia Township Park last week. ACC took a chance on a completely new concept this summer by introducing the community to a totally free Sports Camp instead of the traditional Vacation Bible School. The results were enormous as we were blessed with more than double our usual VBS turnout. About 200 children signed up for the unique opportunity to both learn a sport and soak up plenty of God-honoring lessons about being a good sport. Each night saw kids having a blast on the field while learning the importance of teamwork, perseverance, respect, sacrifice and strategy. Sports included soccer, flag football, cheerleading and Sports of All Sorts (ultimate Frisbee, kickball, wiffle ball and more). Special thanks to our many volunteers, led by ACC Children's Minister Melanie Presta ; our special guests, WKRC Sports Reporter Tara Pachmayer and the UC Bearcat mascot; Cahall Bros. for use of their equipment; and a huge thanks to Batavia Township for use of the park. We can’t wait to do it all again next year, so stay tuned. More pictures from the week Kids, the fun we had at Sports Camp continues every week at the Amelia Church of Christ KidZone. |
