​Summer Camp 2023 Theme

"What's in a Name"
​Through time and in sacred moments, names take on meaning beyond the spoken syllables. Our attempts to name God show the relational power of names and remind us that no name will fully encompass God. We also try to name ourselves in ways that give meaning or make sense of the world. Sometimes naming and labeling can become divisive or hurtful. Other times, the way we name others can defy expectations. As we reflect on the stories in the theme, "What's in a Name", the names of characters, and the names of those who have shaped us, we are comforted by a God who is bigger than all our questions. We are accompanied by a God who transcends our words. We go out to serve in the name of God, who empowers us to name every moment and every place as holy ground.
