Just a quick heads-up: because camp attendance is at a record high this year and seating is very limited, parents won't be able to stay for the evening service tonight.
Trust me, your camper is doing great. They've been busy having fun, making memories, and getting soaked by water balloons. 😄
Thanks for understanding and for praying for us as we finish the week strong!

What an incredible week it has been already!

After two nights of camp, we have already seen several children trust Christ as Savior, and we're watching God change lives through His Word. The worship services have been powerful, kids are engaged, and it's exciting to see them learning that Jesus is their True North.

Of course, camp hasn't been all serious, we've had a TON of fun too! Today was Water Wars, and the campers absolutely loved it. Between water balloons, buckets, and all-out soaking, we went through over 10,000 water balloons!

I couldn't be more proud of our OHBC kids, counselors, and leaders. They have represented our church so well with great attitudes, servant hearts, and a willingness to jump in and help wherever needed. Watching them lead, serve, worship, and encourage one another has been one of the highlights of the week.

Thank you for trusting us with your children and for praying for us. Please continue to pray as we finish strong. We are asking God for even more salvations, life-changing decisions, and spiritual growth in the days ahead.

Camp is off to an incredible start! The weather has been absolutely beautiful, the kids are having a blast, and there is excitement everywhere you look.

We are especially thankful for our speaker, Matthew Ellenberg, who is doing an amazing job pointing our kids to the truth that Jesus is our True North, the One we can trust to guide us through every season of life.

Our prayer is that God would move in the hearts of our children. We are praying for salvations, life-changing decisions, stronger faith, and kids who leave camp knowing Jesus more than ever before.

Parents, thank you for trusting us with your children this week. Please continue praying that God would do something eternal in their lives.

- Pray for salvations.
- Pray for bold decisions.
- Pray for growing faith.
- Pray that every child finds their True North in Jesus.

Today in OHBC Kids we continued our “Doing It Wrong” series by teaching from James 1:22–25 and learning that God doesn’t want us to just hear His Word...He wants us to obey it!

We talked about how easy it can be to hear instructions without actually doing them. The kids heard several illustrations about listening but not following through, including reading instructions without completing them and looking in a mirror but walking away without fixing anything!

James reminds us to be “doers of the word, and not hearers only.” We challenged the kids to think about what it looks like to actually live out their faith every day at home, school, and with friends.

Some practical ways we discussed obeying God this week: telling the truth, obeying parents, being kind, forgiving others, helping people, using encouraging words

Our big takeaway:
“Don’t just hear God’s Word...do it!”

A few great questions to ask your child this week:
What does it mean to obey God?
What was the mirror illustration about?
What is one way you can “do” God’s Word this week?

Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to teach and encourage your children each week. We love your families and are thankful for the chance to point kids to Jesus!

This Sunday in OHBC Kids we kicked off our new series “Doing It Wrong” by teaching from James 1:2–4 and talking about how we often look at problems the wrong way.

We started the morning with some funny tricky word problems like:
If a plane crashes on the US/Canada border, where do you bury the survivors?
If an electric train is moving south, which way does the smoke blow?

We used those type of questions to help teach an important truth: sometimes things are not what they first seem.
We talked about how nobody likes hard times: (losing games, friendship problems, struggles at school, disappointment, fear, difficult family situations)

But James teaches us that God can use hard moments to grow our faith stronger. Just like muscles grow through resistance, our faith can grow during difficult seasons when we continue trusting God.

We reminded the kids that hard times do not mean God has forgotten them. God sees them, loves them, and walks with them through every situation.
Our big takeaway: “God is with me in hard times.”

A few great questions to ask your child this week:
What was your favorite tricky word problem?
What are some hard things kids face?
How can hard times help us trust God more?

Thank you for allowing us to invest in your children each week. We truly love your families and count it a privilege to point kids to Jesus!

Parents, here’s what we talked about today at OHBC Kids

Today we talked about how sin traps and chains people.

We used chains/ropes as a picture and asked:
Would it be hard to run, play basketball, or do everyday things while chained up?
That’s what sin does.

At first sin looks: fun, harmless, exciting
But over time: lying gets easier, anger grows, bad habits form

Sin promises freedom… but it actually traps us.
We looked at the story of Samson and Delilah (Judges 16). Samson thought he could play around with sin and stay in control, but eventually sin cost him his freedom and left him in chains.

The good news:
John 8:36 “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
Jesus doesn’t just forgive us…He sets us free.

Talk about it at home:
What are some sins kids can get trapped in?
Why does sin seem fun at first?
What happened to Samson?
What does Jesus set us free from?

Bottom line: Sin chains people…But Jesus frees people.

Parents, here’s what we talked about today at OHBC Kids
Today’s big truth: Sin always costs something.

Romans 6:23 (ESV)
“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

We talked about how sin is like something that looks good at first…
but later you realize:
“That was NOT worth it.” BUYERS REMORSE
We used examples (bad purchases, broken toys, etc.) to show:
Sin promises something good…but it always costs more than you think.

Bible Story: Adam & Eve (Genesis 3)
Sin looked: good, fun, exciting
But immediately it brought:
shame, fear, hiding, separation

Sin always takes more than it promises.
We also talked about how sin lies to us:
“It’s not a big deal”
“Nobody will know”
“Just this once”

But even “small” sins grow and they always cost something:
peace, joy, trust, closeness with God

The Good News
Sin costs…but Jesus already paid.
Jesus took our punishment
Jesus carried our sin
Jesus paid what we owed
Salvation is a gift, not something we earn.

Talk about it at home:
What are some things that seem good at first but aren’t worth it later?
What did Adam & Eve lose because of sin?
Why does sin always cost something?
What did Jesus do for us?

Bottom line:
Sin will always take more than it gives…but Jesus gives more than we could ever deserve.

Parents, here’s what we talked about today (1st-5th - 11:00 Service)
Today we talked about sin and staying away from it.
We started with a simple picture:
🚫 “DANGER – DO NOT TOUCH – HOT!” Why don’t we touch it?
👉 Because we know it will hurt us.
Then we connected it: 👉 Sin is like that warning sign.
God isn’t trying to ruin our fun He’s trying to protect us.
What we taught:
Sin is choosing our way instead of God’s
Sin hurts us, hurts others, and separates us from God
The Bible says to run from sin (2 Timothy 2:22)
Bible story: David & Saul (1 Samuel 24)
David had the perfect chance to do wrong—and no one would’ve stopped him.
But instead of getting even… 👉 he chose not to sin
We told the kids:
👉 Staying away from sin isn’t just running…
👉 sometimes it’s choosing not to do it even when you can
What this looks like for kids:
walking away from bad situations
turning off something they shouldn’t watch
saying no
asking for help
And we reminded them:
👉 We won’t always get it right
👉 But when we mess up, we run to Jesus (1 John 1:9)
Talk about it at home:
What is sin?
Why is it like a warning sign?
What does it mean to “run from sin”?
What did David choose to do?
Bottom line:
Sin promises something good…
👉 but it always leads to something bad
