Every year at our Summer Camp we have a series of workshops. Sometimes these are connected to the main topic of camp and sometimes not. Here is a run down of what we are doing in 2016.
Singleness
(with Sarah Weber)
When you are young, you might often find yourself interested
in people of the opposite gender or maybe even the butt of all your friends
jokes because you talked to a boy/girl
who really is just your friend. Until you turn 18, you are not of an age
where you can get married. So if the purpose of relationships is to
intentionally spend time with someone for the purpose of marriage, then what
does this mean for you? How should you view relationships even though you’re
too young to get married anyway? Singleness is a blessing, so how can I make
the most of this time?
The Gospel
(with Sam Moody)
The Gospel is such an important word to followers of Jesus.
It is the foundation of our faith and the reason we continue to serve God. But
what about non-Christians? Why does the Gospel not make sense to people who
aren’t followers of Jesus? Why do we need the gospel? Why is it a good thing to
know that we are sinners and in need grace? If you have been asking yourself these
questions or you would like to know how to answer these questions to encourage
your non-Christian friends, then this workshop is for you.
Feeling Stuck
(with Clinton LePage)
(with Clinton LePage)
Sanctification is a big word found in the Bible that is important
for people who follow Jesus. It is the process
of being made of becoming holy, of being set apart for particular use in a
special purpose. Why is it so important? What if I feel stuck in the process?
How do I know where I need to grow? How can I make sure I am constantly
growing? A workshop for people who are looking to grow in their faith, no
matter where they are now.
Pleasures We Can’t Have
(with Toby McIntosh)
(with Toby McIntosh)
Do not be drunk. Do not murder. Do not have sex outside of
marriage. Do not have a hint of sexual immorality. Why does God tell us not to
do these things? What is the point in being restrained? Why has God told us to
do some things and not others? If you would like to understand why God commands
these things of us and how we can choose to find fulfilment in Christ instead,
then this workshop is for you.
Too Far Gone
(with Dean
Carroll)
Sin is what separates us from God. It makes us unworthy to
spend eternity with him in heaven and it means that we will never measure up to
Jesus, who is the standard God uses for those he calls his people. The good
news for us is that Jesus defeated sin on the cross and we can now have a
relationship with God. But what if I am beyond the reach of grace? Is my sin so
bad that God doesn’t want to have anything to do with me? Or what if I rely too
much on God’s grace, doing whatever I like because I know that God will forgive
me for it anyway? If you want to know what your attitude toward sin should be
and what it means to have God’s grace, come along to this workshop.
