Psalm 100
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before Him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is He who made us, and we are His;
we are His people, the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving
and His courts with praise;
give thanks to Him and praise His Name.
For the Lord is good and His love endures forever;
His faithfulness continues through all generations.
This coming Sunday, August 27, will be a family worship on the UGA campus. What a wonderful opportunity for our children to experience the joy of worshipping the LORD with us as a family! This short article talks about the positive effects of worshipping together with our children:

 Hi, Camp Swamp Family!We just completed an amazing summer and fall is just around the corner. We wanted to remind you of several retreats including one that is happening this weekend. Our Mother-Daughter Retreat August 25-27, 2023 is for campers 5 years old and above. This year’s theme is “Connection” with special guest speakers, Patti Hunter and Halie Clark. We encourage mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and friends/mentors to join us for this wonderful opportunity. It will be an opportunity to disconnect from the everyday busyness of life, and take time to connect with daughters/granddaughters, nieces, and mentees as well as other incredible women from around the Southeast.
We have a couple of requests: First, volunteers are needed! We can’t run our retreats without volunteers! If you’re looking for a way to serve, we need kitchen workers (18+) and teen workers (rising 10th graders) and counselors. This is a great opportunity to serve.
Second, feedback from Camp Swamp surveys are needed! – Whether you are a camper, parent of a camper, counselor, or volunteer from this past family or summer camps, please help us by completing the survey. Our mission is to help kids see God and your feedback helps us be sure we not only continue doing that, but that we can be even better moving forward!

Mother-Daughter Retreat – “Connection”, August 25-27, $95/individual ($120 after August 15)

We are excited to announce the 2023 Southeast Singles Retreat, entitled “Limitless – No Boundaries” in beautiful Chattanooga! We believe that God can overcome any boundary in our lives. Whether it’s cultural, financial, emotional, or self-imposed, God can do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine. For those who attended the retreat last year, the format will be similar. Like last year in planning this retreat, our mission is to create a space for people to spend time with God and to fellowship together in all walks of life. We’re praying that everyone leaves inspired by our limitless God! Register now to get our early bird pricing of $30! Cost rises to $50 on October 1. Click on the picture below for details:
