Weeks of preparation, interns raising funds to be here, mission teams and groups coming to support us, and 75 children from the Rogers Park neighborhood, have come together to fulfill a need in this community.
Jesus taught in Matthew 19: 13-15, that the little Children were to be brought to him to be blessed, and further goes on to discuss that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to the children.
Is it not outstanding that the Kingdom of Heaven is being realized right here at United Church of Rogers Park. The goal of our summer camp is to bring children to a place like Jesus described, a place where safety and education happen, a place where love abounds, and hospitality is shown to all children who walk through our doors; truly the Kingdom of Heaven, realized! It is with this attitude we come to work and inspire those who come to work with us, in awesome and empowering ways.
With hopes, dreams, and powerful messages, we help the children to realize that the Church, is a safe environment for them to cling to in their time of need and in their time of greatness.
