worship, discipleship and summer camps

My son had a brilliant time at the Scripture Union Camp he attended last week. I think he had a fabulous week at New Wine in Newark the week before when we camped together. Both events had teams of committed and amazing Christians giving their time to nurture and disciple young Christians through activities, games, bible study and worship. Many evangelical and catholic Christian festivals do amazing children’s and youth work, and their volunteers and staff should be saluted for it. I have noticed that each year we have returned from New Wine, his faith has been honed a little bit more, and I am so thankful for that.

Weeks away do enable children and adults to grow. I reckon that the growth occurs usually because work is done in the home and the church all year around. Families are the basic unit for Christian discipleship. Therefore each year, I attend New Wine, I am reminded afresh of my duty to introduce my son to my faith, to so demonstrate it that he will be attracted through my life to the one alone holds the keys to the universe, Jesus the Christ.

Thank you Scripture Union

Thank you New Wine

    I recall with gratitude the camps I went on as a child – so much easier to explore faith without the usual family/sunday school folk around. Glad to know they still take place.
