"Thumbs up, thumbs up, elbows out, elbows out, feet apart, feet apart..."
The sound of children singing slowly wafts out an old church door. Peeking in, you discover 15-20 smiling kids, singing at the top of their lungs. An hour later, you'll find them attempting new instruments - making all sorts of interesting sounds on flutes, violas, cellos, and violins. Then you might see them pull out their brightly colored plastic chairs, head outside, arrange themselves in a circle and run around as Randy strums his guitar... It's their own version of musical chairs. Some of them don't ever get up, while others are too big to fit in the chairs, yet all of them laugh as if they don't have a care in the world. However, learning new songs, or a few notes on an instrument, isn't the most important part of the music camp; the Bible stories shared, kind words said, the attention given and the love imparted is what we really hope will stick in these kids' minds - an example of who Christ is and how much He really loves them.
