During the first week of August, First Congregational Church hosted Children’s Choir Camp in partnership with First Presbyterian Church of Battle Creek. This year’s theme was Malice in the Palace and focused on the story of Esther from the Bible. 28 children from 12 different churches took part in the camp and the final performance that followed.
Each morning, students heard devotionals on the book of Esther. They learned about feeling empowered to make a difference and about how love can overcome fear. The following Sunday morning, the students performed three songs from their performance during the 10am worship service. Both parents and students were so appreciative of the hard work of Lucy Lower, Associate Music Director, on the camp program.
Music ministries such as Choir Camp continue to be vital parts of our goal of providing a “spiritual playground” where community members can take part in learning and growing in creative expression as worship.
