Camp Sumatanga Info
It’s time to think about summer camp at Sumatanga (www.sumtanga.org) for Elementary age students! This year we have selected the week of June 10th for Trussville First to attend. When registering on-line, you now have the ability to make the $50 non-refundable deposit and make payments! No more paying in full when registering on-line. See on-line registration link below.
Rising 1st-3rd graders:
Day Camp is Monday, June 11-Friday, June 15. Cost is $150 per camper. This year we will NOT be taking the big yellow school bus. We will use the two smaller busses to take kids to/from camp each day. This means we will be able to provide transportation for ONLY 26 children. We will take reservations on a first come basis for church families. We will then open up available slots May 1st for others. If your child needs a ride please let me know ASAP. Email beth@fumctrussville.com if your child will need a ride.
Rising 3rd-6th graders:
Overnight Elementary Camp 1 is Sunday, June 10-Friday, June 15. Parents will provide transportation for their children to/from camp. Overnight camp cost is based on a Tier structure ($400, $450, or $500). For more information on this structure please go to http://www.sumatanga.org/summer-camp-faqs.html. Please click on How Much Does Summer Camp at Sumatanga Cost? Your camper will receive the same experience no matter which Tier you select.
As in the past, the children’s ministry has budgeted to pay a portion of summer camp for our church family children. The church will pay $50 for day campers and $150 for overnight camp. THE CHURCH WILL PAY SUMATANGA THIS PORTION DIRECTLY. However, you must let me know if you would like to receive this amount towards your campers cost.

Exodus: God Gives Moses the Ten Commandments Exodus 20:1-21
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take” (Proverbs 3:5-6).
While Moses is up on a mountain listening to God, God gives him the Ten Commandments. These important instructions are more than just God handing down rules; they’re guidelines for his people to live better lives. God loves us, and God doesn’t want us to get hurt.
Through the Week
- Think of things you use or see regularly that keep you from getting hurt, such as seat belts, stop signs, or protective sports equipment.
- Pick one of those things to be your “rule reminder” for the week.
- Whenever you use your rule reminder, thank God for giving us rules that keep us from getting hurt.
- Also ask God to help you obey his rules.
Talk About This…Tell about a rule in our house that you think is a good rule.
