JAMIE’S POST
Here’s a poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins:
It was a hard thing to undo this knot
It was a hard thing to undo this knot.
The rainbow shines, but only in the thought
Of him that looks. Yet not in that alone,
For who makes rainbows by invention?
And many standing round a waterfall
See one bow each, yet not the same to all,
But each a hand's breadth further than the next.
The sun on falling waters writes the text
Which yet is in the eye or in the thought.
It was a hard thing to undo this knot.

CHURCH NEEDS
Passport Kids Camp Donations
If you would like to support our trip in a tangible way, we are collecting a few supplies for camp. We are in need of grab-and-go snacks, packs of water bottles, packs of Gatorade, hand soap, hand sanitizer, band-aids, and large bags of candy. You can also donate to ubcwaco.org/give and choose “kids camp”; funds will be used directly for our camp needs. Thank you, Ubc, for supporting our kids and being the community our families can count on!
Please Feed the Youths
We are looking for more volunteers to bring Youth Dinners over the coming months. If you or your household is interested, fill out this form.
The form has a place to put the household name and what food you plan on bringing. Please note that some of our students have dietary restrictions! We are so thankful for all of our friends who support our youth!
