Church Camp (2)

Food is a big part of Singaporean culture, and this church camp was no exception to that. Most of our meals were eaten in the hotel's Bamboe Cafe.

There were also two special meals in a different restaurant in the hotel.  These were fancier Chinese dinners, like the ones many couples have at their weddings here.  The food (and tea) is brought out one course at a time for up to ten courses!

 

One of the first courses we had one evening

Sweet and sour chicken

There were also activities planned throughout the week, as well as some free time (a favorite of the kids!).

An outing into Batam included lunch at a seafood restaurant.

Human foosball

Penalty shoot-out

Free time in the hotel pool

Joel, Elijah, and Jotham

After the workshop on the last evening (talked about in my last post), gifts were given to all who were involved in some way in this year's camp.

Thanks to the camp committee for a wonderful camp and to Prof. Gritters for his edifying speeches.   "For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.  I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:  Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day:  and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing" (II Tim. 4:6-8).
