2009 Summer Camp
Program Theme
BREAKTHROUGH - This years curriculum is taken from Mark
and Luke.
What would it have
been like to meet Jesus? The gospels provide a variety of
accounts of those who encountered Jesus during his lifetime.
Some reacted negatively, actively seeking to stop his ministry.
Other had no reaction, choosing to ignore him or walk away. But
for many others, their encounter with Jesus was
a breakthrough-a
transforming experience that changed their way of seeing God,
themselves, and the world around them.
Through the lessons of
Mark and Luke, camper will journey with Jesus through villages,
along lakesides, and down dusty roads, his life intersected with
the lives of a variety of people many who had experienced
oppression, neglect, sickness, prejudice, and/or pain. And yet
in story after story, the gospel writers portray encounters with
Jesus that tear down walls of prejudice, offer release from
bondage, provide loving attention to the forgotten, and give
healing to the sick. Each encounter resulted in a
breakthrough-a chance to move beyond the present situation into
life-changing experience with the healing grace and love of God.
