Camp Koinonia Update

Several of our Senior High students as well as several adult volunteers are at Camp Koinonia this week. Camp Koinonia is located east of Marble Falls, TX at the Hensel Memorial Camp. Although they have had LOTS of rain, everyone is doing well. A few schedule adjustments have been made, but otherwise camp is running smoothly.

I want to encourage everyone to keep this camp and its participants in your prayers. Senior Week of camp will wrap up Friday evening. Please pray for safe travel for those going to and returning from camp.

Our Junior Week of camp (entering 5th Grade - 8th Grade) begins Sunday, July 1st. Please keep this camp session in your prayers as well!

Camp Koinonia is just another great experience that impacts the lives of our kids and teens. Thank you to all of the many people who help make Camp Koinonia a great experience!

What a Sunday!


This Sunday was an amazing Sunday at Western Hills. God (as he has a habit of doing) showed up and did some amazing things. The greatest thing this Sunday was witnessing the baptism of Hannah Seela by her dad Scott (our Children's Minister). It was a powerful image to watch this Godly father "bury" his daughter in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. It was also powerful to be able to see Qwynn (Hannah's mom), whom I could see from where I was standing. Both Scott and Qwynn were caught up in the moment of what God was doing in the life of their daughter. The experience was made complete by standing with the church as we surrounded Hannah and her family and together we sang the song Holy Ground. It was a sacred moment.
God Bless,
Scott
PS - You are invited to post a prayer, blessing, or word of encouragement for Hannah in the comment section of this post. We will print out all of the comments and give them to her.
