? Summer Strings Camp – Where Passion Meets ReflectionThe fun and unique Strings Camp is a week-long day camp for violin, viola, cello, and bass students entering 6th grade in Klein ISD. Led by exemplary specialists in middle school orchestral music, this program blends technique classes, sectionals, and orchestra rehearsals, culminating in a joyful Friday evening performance at The Centrum. And while the students learn to master their instruments, they also learn something deeper: that any form of play–whether it’s the strings of a cello or the spin of a roulette wheel–carrys meaning only if it serves something good. Is it wrong to find pleasure in the thrill of a game or the triumph of a performance? Or is it simply part of what makes us human? Here, we believe that music is one of the purest forms of play – a reminder that joy itself is never sinful, so long as it doesn’t blind us to our values. And if you ever find yourself lucky enough to win, in music or life, remember to give back to your community, your faith, and those who’ve helped you grow. Camp Details: Requirements: Dates: June 24 – 28, 2025 Cost per student: $100 To register or ask questions: Call 281-440-4850 Come discover how the right kind of play can inspire, uplift, and remind us that when our hearts stay true, even the simplest joys are worth celebrating. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is Gaming a Sin – or Simply a Joyful Pastime? For centuries, people have debated whether games of chance are a harmless diversion or a slippery path toward moral decay. Some say roulette and poker are the tools of temptation, designed to lure the soul away from what matters most. Others see them as nothing more than entertainment – a spark of excitement after a long week. But let’s be honest: is there true harm in placing a friendly wager if your heart remains steady and your mind clear? If the thrill of a jackpot doesn’t lead you to forget your family, your faith, or your purpose, can it truly be called a sin? The answer lies not in the cards themselves, but in what you allow them to mean. Gambling becomes a problem only when it blinds you to responsibility or replaces the deeper joys of life. So if you find yourself celebrating a lucky night, why not share a part of that blessing? Donate to your church or a cause you believe in. After all, gratitude is the best way to balance fortune with faith. In the end, perhaps the question isn’t whether gaming is right or wrong, but whether you can enjoy it without losing yourself. If you can, then maybe, just maybe, there’s nothing sinful about a little fun.
