Grace


At Summer Games camp, before each meal we like to thank God for the food we eat. But we like to thank God through fun songs. Throughout the week, huddles prepare a grace to teach and share with the rest of camp. Below you will find a sample of the Graces we share.

And so I thank the Lord

For giving me the things I need

The sun and the rain and the apple seed

The Lord’s been good to me.

For every seed I sow
An apple tree will grow
And soon they'll be an apple tree
Enough for the whole wide world to see

As happy as can be
Because I know that with God's care
The apple tree will soon be there
The Lord is good to me....
AMEN!
