READING
Revelation 3:14-21
“And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the origin of God’s creation: “I know your works; you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were either cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to spit you out of my mouth. For you say, ‘I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing.’ You do not realize that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. Therefore I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire so that you may be rich; and white robes to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nakedness from being seen; and salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. I reprove and discipline those whom I love. Be earnest, therefore, and repent. Listen! I am standing at the door, knocking; if you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to you and eat with you, and you with me. To the one who conquers I will give a place with me on my throne, just as I myself conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.”

CAMP BLESSING/SENDING
These are days for outdoor voices, long sprints, and splashes that sweat and cool like freedom.
These are nights for wild noises and the crackle of bright campfires, eyes that find heaven’s starry banner above.
These are the foods, songs, and spaces that help stick faith to our bones, that locate God’s love so near after all.
For the campers among us, may your lungs be filled with air to sing, pray, shout, and delight in God’s goodness for creation and each of you.
Campers: Thanks be to God.
All: Amen!
For the parents, caring adults, siblings, and all who love these campers, may your spirits rest in the wonder that these children are knowing more of the way of Jesus. May you welcome them home with curiosity about what God is already stirring within them.
Parents & Families: Thanks be to God.
All: Amen!
For this congregation, St. Andrew Lutheran Church, may we be inspired by the twinkle in their eyes, the fresh voices in their songs, and the stories that flow out of this place where the Holy Spirit rustles through the pines.
All: Thanks be to God. Amen!
