BRACE YOURSELF

Camp was an exciting and challenging time. We had fun connecting with friends and connecting deeper with God. We were challenged to take baby steps toward a lifestyle of confesssion(being honest with self, God, and others), repentance(turning away from sin and towards Christ), and total dependence on God. The truth is that when you brace yourself with these three areas you start to truly live out a life of forgivness and freedom. Below are a few pictures from the weekend, you can view more pics on Facebook and www.fbcrc.org

EXPOSED

We love the easy stuff Jesus teaches but many of His words are tough to swallow. What does Jesus mean when he says:

· “Leave the dead to bury their own dead”

· “So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple”

· “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple”

· “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me”

What is the cost of following Jesus? What do you do when Jesus Exposes your motives, your heart, your thoughts? Join us this semester as we learn how being Exposed actually saves us.

Fall Camp has come and gone!

We recently finished up fall camp at Camp Widjiwagan and it was awesome. We dealt with the issue of "storms" in our lives and how to deal with them. It was a great series for all of us to think about and go through together. We have had a lot of hardships within our group and it was really beneficial to hear from other people who also have had hard times and can come out and say God is good. We often can with head knowledge say that God is good but sometimes emotionally it is hard to feel that way. I think this weekend was a great time for all of us to come out with some of the things that we trully are dealing with at our core and get encouragement from one another to know that God is a good god. We also had a lot of great down time to do some activities throughout the day. Some of these activities included dodgeball, zip line, canoeing, & rip cord swing. The most active being dodgeball. All in all it was a great weekend and great community! Here are some more photos!
