One Small Change

Victoria and I are still at the Diocese of Georgia's camp and conference center, Honey Creek for the high school session of summer camp.

Last night for the camp eucharist (which we celebrate once toward the end of the week) we made one small change to the service. The words and music were all as we would usually do in the chapel as is typical. The one change was to bring in 13 tables and set up the look of a banquet. Not an unlucky number, 13 was Jesus and the 12 apostles. But that was a fortunate occurance as 13 6-foot tables is also what it took to fit everyone so they could be seated. There were grapes on the candlelit tables. Just enough to represent The Last Supper.

The readings were the ones for this coming Sunday. In the sermon, I connected the life of Saint Francis of Assisi to the readings and our theme this week of Amor Es Revolucinario (Love Is Revolutionary). The Rev. Denise Ronn was ably assisted by Lilly and Samantha who assisted at the altar. The readings were well done by the campers, the music was energetic and the whole service came together well. Very different in feel due to the one small change in the setting. Camp ends tomorrow. But today, we have one more trick up our sleeves. More later...
