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!

Fall Camp!

Storm Warning
It’s unavoidable… every one of us goes through storms. Sometimes the storms are big and cause lots of damage. Sometimes they rumble through and they are gone. So if a storm is going to happen .. whether it’s a death, a diagnosis, a divorce, or a break-up, how do you weather the storm? What do you hold onto when the storm hits?

Come join us this fall as we take our fall trip to Camp Widjiwagan with Brentwood Fellowship. We will be having two seperate camps for middle school and high school. Middle School's camp will be October 2nd-4th & High School's will be October 9th -11th. 85$ per student. Contact Chad @ cvinson@fbcrc.org or Will @ whitlocw@yahoo.com.

Summer Time!!

Mexico!!

Early this summer, some of our students and our volunteers took a mission trip to Mexico. The upperclassmen were taken out into the country to work about an hour outside of Monterrey while the sophomores and freshman stayed in the city to do work. A lot of what they did was rebuilding and reconstructing. Everyone had a great time and has proclaimed it as the "highlight of their summer". If you are interested in seeing more pictures from this event, you can visit our website www.fbcrc.org and you will find them there.

Rock Climbing

Once July was underway, we took a trip to the Ocoee to go rock climbing, repelling, and tubing. It was a full day trip for us but everybody seemed to have had a great time. If you would like to see some of repelling photos taken they will also be on our website!

ReCreation Experience

We recently went to Asheville, NC for a spring break trip with our High School students. It was great time for everybody. We partnered with a ministry called ReCreation Experiences. Their vision is essentially to give help to the needy, poor, and handicapped through home repair. Their website is http://www.recreationexperiences.org/ where you can find out more about this awesome ministry.
We had a great time working with ReCreation! We spent the week living in a renovated elementary school and the staff there were great. We went to Mr. Edwards' (up top) home during the daytime and helped repair his yard and house. There was a great need to take down trees, and yank up ole' thorny vines. We sanded down the walls and ceiling on the inside then we painted it down with primer trying to get it ready for the next group to come and finish what we started. All in all at the very end, things really started to get a lot cleaner and Mr. Edwards had a decent living situation.
The greatest impact was not made through our toil and work even though we were able to help Mr. Edwards greatly. We took some time on the last day to sing happy birthday to Mr. Edwards and pray for him. When we finished we found Mr. Edwards in tears. It was a great thing to know that what he deeply needed was to simply believe that he was loved. Somehow God allowed us to show him exactly that...

80's Night!!!
We recently had a great time in our church garage by celebrating the 80's. It took everyone a little bit of time to get to dancin but we all learned that only thing we really had to be embarrassed about was our clothing and not dance moves... It was great evening to honor that great yet terrible decade that all Americans seemingly lost their sense of fashion, style, and especially music... Here's to the 80's!!!

Trust... Who do you trust? Family, Friends, Pastors, Teachers, etc.? How about Christ? Do you trust Him? Do you trust Him when you mess up, feel discouraged, figuring out life direction, or when you don't feel like He is there? If you don't... that's ok... He is still more than enough... even for our distrust. God has questions for us. Not the type of questions where He needs to figure something out... But the type of questions that we need in our lives to help us figure something out... Come join us as we look throughout God's word to see what He is asking us.
