Brian taught the kids to slack line. They were a bit timid at first, but by the end of the day, they were great.
Our lesson of Aslan was led by Karin and JJ. JJ portrayed Aslan and kids could ask him questions about love and forgiveness.
We inaugurated the basketball court with a ceremony and a basketball game. It was a lot of fun.
Our planned final dinner and sausage roast was modified so that we had to eat indoors, but that also went well and was a lot of fun with a noisy hall and many hugs.
The day ended with revealing who our "guardian angels" were. We had chosen names of people to whom we would do special deeds.
In then end many kids walked back to the hotel with us where we delayed our good byes as long as we could with lots of memories of the week and hugs and crying. The kids will come in the morning to see us off and we'll have to do much of it all over again.
It was so wonderful to see each and every team member valued by the kids that they had bonded with over the week.

IS THE CHURCH JESUS BUILT AN ECUMENICAL ASSEMBLY?
Ecumenical defined: Christian unity aimed at achieving universal Christian unity through interdenominational organizations.
Jesus prayed for unity. (John 17:20-21 "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; 21 that they may all be one, as You Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.)(NKJV)
1 Corinthians 1:10 Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgement.(NKJV)
Here listed are some of the denominations and churches who are involved in the ecumenical assemblies. Wesleyan churches, the Roman Catholic Church, Lutherans, The Salvation Army, United Church of Christ, Independent Christian Churches, Methodists, Presbyterian Churches, Baptists, Pentecostal Churches, and Quakers, to name just a few.
These churches do not speak the same thing. They teach different ways to become saved. They teach conflicting doctrines about how to remain saved. They do not agree on how to have sins forgiven. They declare various and sundry terms for pardon from sin. They differ on the essential doctrines of Christianity.
To refer to these associations as ecumenical give misnomer a bad name. How can the different churches cooperate in charitable causes? How they join together in Bible study and worship? There can only be true unity in the truth found in Scripture. God did not create nor approve of different doctrines for thousands of denominations and church groups.
The true ecumenical church is the one founded on the Day of Pentecost 33 AD. The statement of faith is the New Testament Scriptures. Jesus died for one church, His church.
