|    BASE  Camp  PRACTICES    |


We know. Commitments can be tricky. "Is this too much?" "Will I fall short?" "Do I have what it takes?" Below are the Base Camp Practices broken down into three main areas; time for God, time for connection, and time for excellence. You're not going to doing everything perfectly. It's not going to go 100% according to plan. But we encourage you to be generous with your life during this unique time. God is never outdone in generosity. He is calling you to the heights. 
TIME FOR CELEBRATION.
Celebrate the Octave (Sunday April 17th --> Sunday April 24th)
  • Pray this prayer often "Holy Spirit Come, Fill me with the Joy of your Salvation! Thank you Jesus for your cross and resurrection."
  • Celebrate with Joy each day with any of the following activities
    • Have a treat: Bake a cake,  eat ice cream, donut, steak, make a fun mixed drink, etc…
    • Spend time outside: Go for a hike, fly kites, plant some flowers or vegetables, Hammock in the park with a good book
    • Play sports, a board game, build a puzzle
    • Play Music with people, Have a dance party

Live Sundays Well
