Inspiration Point

From counselor Kaden: Dear Lord, I want to lift up each of our Junior High campers as the summer approaches and we begin to think about our next year at Camp Horizon. I ask you to help these young students finish their school year by giving everything they have got in their classes. I ask that you stay within their minds and their hearts through every task whether big or small. I can't wait to be a part of their walk for You as they grow Spiritually this summer. Amen. From counselor Adison: Hey God,  I pray our JHJ campers can feel your presence during these times, hopefully just as much as they do at Camp. I pray that even in times where it feels like everything is canceled, Lord, that they are still able to see far enough in the future, and know that this will not last forever, and that we are so looking forward to seeing them all this summer. I pray for their safety, and for their health, and I pray that they feel held, not only by those around them, but also by You. Thank y...

From counselor Allison: God, thank you so much for these campers. Thank you for their willingness to learn, and to listen, and to grow in their faith with You. I pray that right now, through this time of strangeness and isolation, that You will work in their hearts, reassuring them that everything will be okay, even though it feels a little bit weird right now. Please help these kids to focus on their schoolwork when it seems impossible, but also to know that it’s okay to relax and have fun too. God, I just pray that you are a presence in each of these campers’ homes every day, guarding and guiding these young people in Your way and down the path that You’ve set for them. Help them to feel Your presence when they are sad or lonely, and to rejoice with You in the happy moments as well. Lord, please protect these kids and continue to watch over them as they live their lives in a new and different way. Thank you, God, for Your goodness and never-ending acceptance of us, no matter what s...

From Counselor Jillian: From counselor Kaden: Dear Lord, I want to lift up each of our Young Wonder campers as the summer approaches and we begin to think about our next year at Camp Horizon. I ask you to help these young students finish their school year by giving everything they have got in their classes. I ask that you stay within their minds and their hearts through every task whether big or small. I can't wait to be a part of their walk for You as they grow Spiritually this summer. Amen. From counselor Anika: From Counselor Cal: Lord, I pray that you work through the Young Wonders this summer. I ask that you offer camp as an escape from the discomforts of life. Use camp as a pressure-free space that drives your children to leave their comfort zone. I pray that counselors provide your unconditional love and meet them where they are. Let them form lifelong bonds with one another and strengthen their connection to you. Grace them with peace and safe...

Dear God,  We lift up the 200 volunteers that planned to join a work team at Camp Horizon this spring.  Their work is invaluable and their absence is greatly felt this year.  We pray that all our volunteers are staying healthy at home during this time.  Be with each one of them and we pray that they know Camp Horizon is deeply appreciative of their years of service.  We pray that they will be able to return to camp soon and continue being the hands and feet of Christ. In Christ name, AMEN Since we can't see them, and we miss them all dearly here is a flash back to the 2017 VIM Team!

Day Camps and Overnight Camps are for 1st - 3rd grade campers. These are our youngest campers and we want to lift them up in a special prayer today. We are prayerfully anticipating their arrival this summer! From Counselor Rachel: Dear God, I pray that all kids who come to Day Camp and Overnight Camp will be safe and loved. I pray that through this experience they will become stronger in their faith. I ask that these campers gain a comfort and love for camp that will last for many years to come. Please bless these kids as they come from all around to be introduced to camp. Amen From Counselor Seth:

Tonight we would like to lift up a prayer for our amazing food service personnel. This is typically a busy time of the year and they work endlessly to feed everyone at camp. That is not the case this year. Lord, We lift up our kitchen staff to you tonight. Kathy, Irene, & Pam work so hard to make sure everyone eats well at camp. We miss seeing their faces and of course eating their food. Everything about this time is different especially the empty retreat calendar. We lift up their time at home with their families, and their finances as they figure out these uncertain times. We pray a blessing on their ministry and that they will soon be back in the kitchen serving and loving everyone who comes to camp. We love them, we miss them, and we can't wait for them to be back. Lord, please bless them and fill them with your spirit! In your name we pray! Amen!

Tonight we lift up the staff members that make our churches run smoothly. Lord we want to lift up the amazing people who work tirelessly to make our churches function. Times are weird right now, and they are helping our pastors figure out how to do things digitally and many are jumping in to help bring church to the people. Tonight Lord, we lift up the church secretaries, janitors, children's workers, youth workers, worship leaders, UMW, UMM, volunteers, and all those who work hard in our churches. We pray they are blessed this Easter weekend, and find peace in this chaotic world. In your name we pray, Amen!
