| GASTON OAKS Baptist Church in Dallas held a fine arts camp June 2-6. The innovative project brought together 50 participants of all ages to learn about puppetry, costuming, drama, scenic design, instrumental music, choral music and banner creation. The camp drew its theme, Image Maker, from the principle that all humans are created in the image of God. The week concluded with a worship service in which participants shared what they had learned. "The camp was a huge success," said Minister to Families Jeni Knighten. "We had hoped that the fine arts camp would ignite interest in the participants to worship the Lord with their talents in different ways, and I think it has done so." Here, children practice their puppetry skills with enthusiasm. |
