Sorry about this, but it’s been about a month since the meeting occurred. Nonetheless, here’s what I come up with from my memory and Hope’s notes.

We had some discussion about the possibility of having a “famous” person send us a 5-minute video testimony of where they started from as a child, when they began to dream of God using them in public ministry and how they marvel at God today. Names that came to mind were: Eric Timm (Jesus Painter), Toby Mac, Third Day, David Crowder, Go Fish. Calvin went onto Facebook to look for pages of these people and to try to send them messages. We will also try through friends that we have that might have a better connection in the music industry (e.g. Paul Lopez, Mike King). To date, nothing has panned out.

From there, we began to bring it closer to home and thought that perhaps the “up front” leaders at BAC (Julie, Bonnie, Jason) could give a testimony of where they started from and how God molded them into who they are. These are people who are very visible faces at BAC, but don’t usually get a chance to let the kids know who they are and where they’ve come from.

In working on our logo/graphic, we came up with the idea of a cloud with light shining through it, perhaps illuminating or coming out in the word WONDER. Jason said he would work on a graphic and send it to us to look at.

Shirt color? Very important question, but not so important. It’s one of the first things the kids ask about, but in many ways it doesn’t matter. We thought perhaps a blue (if we’re talking clouds), even a royal or dark blue.

Rachelle Carlson’s name came up as a possibility for someone who could teach a photography class. Calvin will get in touch with her. If she doesn’t want to commit to teaching a class, he will ask her to be a roving photographer who will take and organize the pictures during the week.

It’s very important for us to start nailing down teachers and small group leaders. It’s also very difficult, as most people don’t even begin to think about Art Camp until summer arrives.
