Camp Fundraiser
Summer is an awesome time here at FBCTC, and it is fast approaching. Many exciting events span the summer season: Vacation Bible School, Sports Camp, Music Camp, Pre-teen Camp, Camp Sonshine and Youth Camp.
Away Camps (Youth Camp/Pre-teen Camp) are a great time for children and youth to pursue a deeper relationship with Jesus and the Kingdom community He has given us to grow with. It is an event designed with limited distractions so that students can have enhanced opportunity to connect spiritually. This retreat setting provides an atmosphere for other adults to speak blessing into their lives and gives an opportunity to focus on intentional attributes of their walk of faith through worship, discussion groups, Bible study, and purposeful recreation.
Our VBS and local children’s camps (Music, Sports, SonShine) give students and adults the opportunity to use gifts that God has given for service, fellowship, and discipleship in leading the planned activities. Attendees receive special attention and compassion from each of the volunteers as they provide an unforgettable time of community in learning about and experiencing “God all around us.”
These life changing events occur because God’s people step up. God’s people step up and pray, serve, love, and give. One of the reasons that I love the summer so much is that we get to experience concentrated times of community praying, serving, loving, and giving four or five days in a row. I hope that you will plan on participating in some way this summer, through prayer, volunteering, or giving or all of the above.
We have the philosophy that if there is room available, we do not want lack of family funds to keep any student/child from attending camp. Thank you to the generosity of FBCTC for meeting this need.
This Sunday 1/28 we will have a Youth/Children’s camp Fundraiser meal. Come join us in the Fellowship Hall immediately after worship for a hamburger or hot dog and enjoy community. A Dessert silent auction will be taking place as well so you don’t want to miss it. See you there.
Oh, and Summer…“It will be here before you know it.”
