Serpent Attempts to Spoil Retreat

One of our campers at the Back In School Retreat was bitten by a copperhead. He is doing well thanks to cool heads and fast action on the part of camp leaders. Please pray for a full recovery as this young man continues to deal with swelling and ongoing blood tests. All indications point to no lasting effects. We praise God that this physical serpent was not allowed to ruin an otherwise great retreat. We also rejoice that that old serpent, the devil, was defeated. Just as that physical copperhead's head was crushed, our Lord and Saviour has prevailed over satan and has provided the grace that defeats and shall ultimately destroy him from God's creation. God's grace in Christ Jesus shall make you free through your faith! Is satan being defeated in your life? Will you spend eternity with God forever after God has been revealed and sin fully exposed? You shall if you are abiding in Christ by faith in His Word!
