Event Details

Writer’s block plagues every poet, novelist, and composer- no matter if they’re a novice or seasoned veteran. These writers and composers have surpassed this boundary and have created spectacular works. Unfortunately, this recital is not nearly long enough to encompass all of the literary works out there! Instead, this performance will focus on a sampling of American, English, Scottish, French, and German literature during the 19th century. Literary writers include: Walt Whitman, Robert Louis Stevenson, John Henry Mackay, Heinrich Hart, Thekla Lingen, Paul Heyse, Gustav Mahler, Fiona MacLeod, Richard Wagner, George Crabbe, and Victor Hugo. Richard Strauss, Joseph Marx, Gustav Mahler, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Charles Griffes, and Kurt Weill composed some of these works as arts songs an lieder (German art songs). Richard Wagner and Benjamin Britten have taken their chosen literature and turned them into full operatic works, of which one aria from each will be performed. Lastly, Alan Menken, inspired by Hugo’s beloved novel, wrote the music for Disney’s telling of Hunchback of Notre Dame, which includes Quasimodo’s “Out There.”

Event Details

During Vacation Bible School, join first-time camp, Counselor Sam, and Lumen, “Lu,” the lightning bug puppet, for a summer adventure at Camp Firelight. Campers accompany Counselor Sam and Lu during each assembly session and learn to face their fears while trusting in God. Each day, Campers see Counselor Sam face new challenges, from as simple as leading Campers on a hike to as intimidating as meeting a new and wise nature expert. With the help of Lu, the Lightning Bug, and the Camp Counselor Guidebook, Counselor Sam and the Campers explore timeless Bible stories showing how Old and New Testament Campers trusted God, faced their fears, and went on to do remarkable things in God’s name.
As Campers experience the stories through music, drama and storytelling, games, arts and crafts, science, and even snacks, they learn ways to connect with and trust God. And best of all, they understand they can connect with God at VBS, church, home, and every area of their lives. This unique Vacation Bible School program from Cokesbury Kids VBS invites children on an exciting journey where they learn to trust God no matter what situation life brings, know God is always with them, and feel confident in sharing the good news of God’s love through Jesus Christ.
Camp Callout (Theme Verse): “Whenever I’m afraid, I put my trust in you.” (Psalm 56:3)
Registration is open now through June 10th! For more information, contact
Trinity Lutheran Church at (912) 925-4839
