CAMP is coming! - A note from Emilee Garrison


As girls it’s very easy to be sucked into the world. Social media, friendships, relationships, etc. all consume our lives on a day-to-day basis. We wake up in the morning and look at our phones, hoping for that sweet good morning text or seeing what’s new on Twitter. Then we spend a good amount of time showering, fixing our hair, doing our makeup, and picking out the perfect outfit. After we have made sure that we look our best, we rush off to school or work or to hang out with our friends. Where in our day have we set aside time for our Creator? Maybe you sneak in a few minutes of Bible reading or prayer before practice or before you fall asleep, but do you purposefully and consistently set aside time to be with the Lord? Well, for five days that time is built into your daily schedule for you. I think you know what I’m talking about: CAMP! This is a time that allows you to put down the flat iron and the cell phone and pick up the Word. CAMP is a great time to detox from the stresses of the world and just BE with Jesus. We take five days to step back from life and experience God. Windermere provides a gorgeous backdrop for quiet time, rec, and boating. Sam Bhatt will be bringing the message each night and Tyler Batten and his band will lead us in worship. CAMP is an incredibly awesome time to continue growing in your faith, or maybe rediscover the God you used to know. I promise that if you are willing to take a break from the world for five days, God will show you some incredible things.
