Hannah and Lincoln went to Jr. Impact at Lipscomb University in Nashville.
IMPACT is a summer event at Lipscomb designed to provide an atmosphere for teens that enables the development of a personal faith, which will impact their world for Christ. IMPACT Junior is for 6th-8th graders. The main focus of IMPACT is Christ. Whether it is through prayer, praise, classes, or the messages of the speakers, IMPACT week has been one that teens cherish. The IMPACT theme is always a mystery till the curtain opens. The theme is developed with varied emphasis on different elements of Christian faith from evangelism and textual studies to spiritual development.
The theme this year was "Olly Olly Oxen Free." Taken from a blog I found on Impact: "Because we are facing an epidemic of fear in our culture, Impact chose to confront the culture of fear and stare down worry, anxiety, guilt, and shame. They challenged the campers and everyone there to step out into the light. To step out and talk to someone, to set yourself free from the dark."
This was Lincoln's first year to go. He was extremely excited!
A great group of kids!
I love that they made new friends from other places.
And I love how our church supports our teens spiritual growth!
