Camp Information Sheet

In light of missing church Wednesday due to weather, I thought I'd post our camp information sheet that was due to be handed out yesterday.  This sheet has all the information on camp so students and parents can make an informed decision.

Camp Information Sheet

Location:  Jonathan’s Creek Camp, 3043 Beal Road, Hardin, KY 42048

Dates:  June 19-24, 2011

Requirements:
Deposit:       Students must sign up and pay a $50 non-refundable deposit by Feb. 6, 2011.  If students cannot pay all or part of the deposit, other arrangements can be made.  (If money is an issue, we will NOT allow that to keep a student from attending camp.  Talk to me and we will work something out.  DO NOT LET MONEY key your student from attending.)

Attendance:  We have a 75% attendance policy to attend camp.  If you want to go to camp, you must attend at least 75% of our youth gatherings from Feb. 6 until June 19.  We only count that as 75% of gatherings you can attend.  For example, if you’re on the basketball team and they have a game on Wednesday, that will not be counted against you.  However, if practice ends at 4:30 and you don’t show, that does count against you.

Money:
Camp cost:  $345 per student.  (This covers meals, activities, lodging, etc. for five nights and six days.)  We ask you to pay what you can.  If you can pay the full amount, please do so.  If you can pay half, that’s great too.  If you can’t pay at all, again, that will be fine.  WE WILL NOT LET MONEY KEEP ANY STUDENT FROM ATTENDING CAMP!!!! However, any amount you can pay helps us fund other parts of our ministry better, since we won’t have to pay as much for camp.

Additional cost:  Students will be responsible for meals to and from camp.  (About three meals.)

Devotion to a false god

Image
Last week, at Disney World, I went to retrieve our stroller from the stroller parking section.  As I searched among the hundred or so strollers, I finally found mine and started to move it.  As I pulled, it snagged on a woman's garment.  Panicked, I looked up and saw it was a Muslim women in full Muslin dress.  Her body was completely covered.  Only a slit for her eyes was visible.  I was careful not to yank, and I tried to apologize as the hook of the handle caught part of her garment.  She didn't say a word and we both quietly went on our ways. As I walked away, I felt pity on her.  For one, it's Disney World in June in Florida.  I strode along in shorts and a very thin T-shirt.  Both were soaked in sweat.  I had already consumed two bottles of water and still felt weary.  She was dressed head to toe in heavy garments.  I can't imagine how hot she was pushing a stroller with two kids through a mass of people in humid air and on hot pavement. Secondly, she dres

Time for an examination

For my seminary class on counseling, I had to read a book about anxiety and worry.  In the book, the author, Archibald Hart, made the case that sometimes worry can be good. He gave the example of worrying about an illness - in the case a spot on the skin that could be cancerous.  Since skin cancer is a very real, and deadly, possibility, your worrying about it should spurn you to have it examined.  In that case, it's a healthy form of worrying.  It's more natural concern than worry, even when we dwell on it.  It's our brain's mechanism to check out anomalous things. For me, Matthew 7:21-23 is one of those "spots" you need to worry about.  In the passage, Jesus says many people who drive out demons, preach, teach and do miracles will not gain access into the Kingdom of Heaven.  They'll have all the outward signs of a believer but have no real, genuine relationship with Jesus Christ. That's a very scary proposition.  It addresses those of us who

God Uses Conflict

Image
I am not a big fan of conflict.  I don't know many people that are. Yet, one thing I learned in my communication classes in college is that in any human relationship or interaction, conflict is inevitable and unavoidable.  In fact, I teach in my marriage counseling that conflict, and how we handle it, can even strengthen our marriages. Conflict is not always a bad thing.  Through conflict, we see new points of view.  We grow as we weather the storm. We even strengthen our resolve. And, at time, God brings conflict into your life in order to move you from where you are to where he wants you to be. That's what happened with the Israelites.  In Exodus 14, we see that God moves to the Jewish people to the once place that means an unavoidable conflict with Egypt.  Surrounded by the Egyptian army, an impassible terrain and the Red Sea, Israel is forced into a confrontation with the Egyptian army.  They have no where to run and ultimately must listen to God as he directs the
