Dear Friends,
Children look forward to celebrations. They can tell you about their next birthday or what they hope for Christmas. Children love picnics, parades and times that are different because they celebrate something. It can be small or it can be large, but celebrations are important markings for them and adults, too. We need to mark anniversaries, changes, new births, and, yes, death of loved ones too.
In Project Lost Sheep, we have learned to celebrate. We celebrate each camp that comes along in Redwood City by number. We celebrate as a core group each other’s birthdays. We also know each other well enough to celebrate when someone gets a job or recovers from illness.
Jesus, although he was close to dying on the cross and knew what was ahead, said: “With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:” – Luke 22:15.
Sincerely,

Why? Because this was a time of celebrating God’s passing over the children of Israel with the angel of death. They were spared. I am sure that the Lord enjoyed the meal even though he told them it would be the last before eating again with them in the kingdom of heaven.
Camp number 10 is about to happen in Redwood City, August 4th to 8th, 2014. Children will be calling and asking about the camp. Last summer, no flyers went out because Touchdown Kids Camp had become so well known in the community.
Thanks for your continued support and help as we keep celebrating lives changed by the grace of God.
