“Protect your joy!” The first time I heard my friend and colleague Bishop Prince Singh say these words I was intrigued. This was in part because my friend is a wise, thoughtful person who does not make a practice of passing on Pollyanna platitudes. And more importantly, I know that he, like many of us, has his share of both personal and professional challenges. |

Calling all camp counselors!
Foothills Day Camp in Anniston is calling you for this awesome ministry opportunity, July 17 - July 22. Camp Staff are youths ages 15 and up. Modeled after Sawyerville, this is a great place to serve in the love of Jesus. The children who attend FDC are ages 6-10, and the majority of these campers would not otherwise have an opportunity to participate in a summer camp.
