Junior II
Winter Camp 2009
(For 3rd through 6th grade students)
Theme:
"Wake Up!!"
There are many Christian kids today that seem to be just sleepwalking through
life. They may go to church and even wear Christian T-shirts but their faith is
shallow and without passion. This weekend is all about calling them to
"Wake Up".
It's about training our young people to stay awake in their faith so they can be
affective tools for God in their daily lives. Our key scripture verse for
the weekend comes from the Apostle Paul...
Romans 13:11 "And to this, understanding the present time.
The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is
nearer now than when we first believed."
Date:
March 6-8, 2009
Cost: $125.00 for Students ($80 for adult leaders)
