Teen Camp June 8-12th

Posted by admin On April - 14 - 2009























I will never forget my many summers at camp. I made many of the most important decisions of my life during camp. Camp is a wonderful time to get away from the world and all its distractions and focus on God. I strongly encourage every teenager to attend camp this summer.

This summer we will be attending Camp on Wheels. The camp is located in the beautiful White Mountains of Alpine, Arizona (Yes, Arizona does have mountains). The theme for camp is Expedition West. In 1805, two men set out on a dangerous expedition to the Western Territory. They would experience many hazards along the way. Join both explorers as they tackle the Grizzly Ball, canoeing, archery, disc-golf, mountain biking, table tennis, box hockey, basketball, and The Climbing Wall. Compete throughout the week to help your explorer successfully complete the arduous Expedition West!

I believe that every teenager needs to get away from the world and it’s pulls and come to camp. This is a place where they can focus completely on God without the distractions of school, sports practices, music, TV, movies, internet, and even some friends just to name a few. Each teenager is given a Godly counselor for the week who has been trained to help them have a good time but more importantly to grow in whatever way God directs. Who knows what God has in store for you at camp.

Highlights

Dear Church Family,

What a beautiful to sight to look out at the landscape transformed by the white snow. As I look out the window preparing for tomorrow I can’t stop thinking about the sacrifice that Jesus made for me to make my sin as white as snow. I pray that you will begin thinking these thoughts today and prepare your heart for tomorrow’s service. We have a very special service planned tomorrow. Our singing will be focused on the sacrifice that Christ made for us on the cross. Maria Barta, one of our newest members, will be singing one of my favorite songs tomorrow, The Look (the lyrics for this song can be found at the bottom of this post). We will conclude the service with our Sacrifice Sunday Offering. In this offering you will be asked to place your financial, as well as time, sacrifice to Christ. It will be a wonderful time of focus on the work of our precious Savior.

I understand that the snow has made it difficult for many to get out; however, I believe that tomorrow’s service is extremely important for our church. We have a quick fellowship after the service tomorrow followed by a presentation of the plans for our new auditorium. If our church is going to move forward on this building project I believe it is vital for us all to be on the same page. We are planing the future of our church tomorrow. We spent the entire month of January building up to this service. I believe this is a critical time for our church body. We have the opportunity to gather together and focus on the sacrifice that Christ made for us on the cross. I pray that you will be here tomorrow to worship together with the body of Christ.

In Christ,

Pastor Josh


The Look


I saw one hanging on a tree in agony and blood

Who fixed His loving eyes on me as near His cross I stood

And never till my dying breath will I forget that look

It seemed to charge me with His death though not a word He spoke


My conscience felt and owned the guilt and plunged me in despair

I saw my sins His blood had spilt and helped to nail Him there

But with a second look He said “I freely all forgive

this blood is for your ransom paid; I died that you might live”


Thus while His death my sin displays for all the world to view

Such is the mystery of grace; it seals my pardon too

With pleasing grief and mournful joy my spirit now is filled

That I should such a life destroy yet live by Him I killed


CHORUS

Forever etched upon my mind is the look of Him who died

The Lamb I crucified and now my life will sing the praise

Of pure atoning grace that looked on me and gladly

took my place
