Youth Camp Something More

In the middle of July we came back from our youth camp. We are so grateful that this was one of the best youth camps we have done so far. Much thanks to the five adults and 19 teens from the Southside Church of Christ, in Lexington, Kentucky, who came to participate in the camp with us and our teens. We also had several Ukrainian teenagers with us. Our theme for this year was, Something More. Our focus was in the book of Ephesians, especially Ephesians 3, where we are told that our God can do more than we can ask or imagine. We were talking about how we should not settle for less, when God has more for us. Every night we had a different speaker. Steve, Jeremy, and Mateja in their lessons were focusing on different elements of our theme for the week: More with Jesus; More with Self; and More with Others. Each morning we had an experiential activity that tied in with that evening’s lesson. On the More with Others day, the morning experience was for each person to “color by numbers” once piece of a large puzzle. Then that evening the completed puzzle was revealed. All the teens were really impacted by this. Igor and a few of the teens had a nice band and they blessed us with worship music every morning and every evening. Our last day of camp we went to the island of Krk to spend a few hours on the beach together.
