READING
Joshua 2:1, 8-14

Then Joshua son of Nun sent two men secretly from Shittim as spies, saying, “Go, view the land, especially Jericho.” So they went and entered the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab and spent the night there.

Before they went to sleep, she came up to them on the roof and said to the men, “I know that the Lord has given you the land and that dread of you has fallen on us and that all the inhabitants of the land melt in fear before you. For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.  As soon as we heard it, our hearts melted, and there was no courage left in any of us because of you. The Lord your God is indeed God in heaven above and on earth below.  Now then, since I have dealt kindly with you, swear to me by the Lord that you in turn will deal kindly with my family. Give me a sign of good faith that you will spare my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them and deliver our lives from death.”  The men said to her, “Our life for yours! If you do not tell this business of ours, then we will deal kindly and faithfully with you when the Lord gives us the land.”

The Word of the Lord.  Thanks be to God.

CAMP BLESSING & SENDING
Leaders: 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. 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!

Leaders: 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.

Leader: 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!
