Time in the Field.
A six week series to encourage reflection:
Reflection on life improves our reflection of life!
Let us set our minds on the things above before our feet hit the ground today.
RISE
God calls us "the light." Often people forget that Jesus came to find what was lost and restore it. So many christians refer to the lost only as set of people, but clearly there is more to the idea of lost. Humanity lost the art of Life so Jesus died to restore the masterpiece of creation (you) to its original form. He has shone His light into the darkness of our hearts to provide an understanding about how we are to live as fathers, mothers, sons and daughters. His light teaches us to be the creation we were designed to be.
Internal Reflection: How has your relationship with Jesus redefined the relationships in your life? Those closest to you and those you're not close with at all? If you read 1 Cor 13 you may notice that you are growing in many of these ways towards others. Spend time being thankful for the light Jesus provides and all the ways it makes living this life full!
External Reflection: Be the light is a command that simply means God grants us the ability to receive His light and become translators of that light to the people around us. Choose to be the real you today, the one who knows and is known by God. Whatever you really want to do/accomplish/become, go for it! Show everyone around you what it looks like to be loved by God and free to pursue your dreams under His blessing and favor.
You are loved more than you can imagine!

The 2020 Back to School Retreat is behind us. What an incredible time we had worshiping the
Greatest
Of
All
Time
Jesus is like no other, and His presence with our students over this weekend at Harvest Ministries transformed lives. We learned through the life of David to run towards our challenges and let the same Lord that delivered Him from the lion and the bear deliver us. We learned to be thankful for our current circumstances, After David was anointed king God sent him back out in the field to tend sheep for years. We believe God was developing David for His purposes and protecting David from developing into the same kind of warriors the rest of his brothers became. When Goliath shouted curses about the God of Israel towards the Israeli army, all his brothers remained silent with their heads down. They could only see the size of their enemy, and fear set in. When David over heard the giant shouting down the army, he had been trained in the field to trust in the size of his God. That's what we want to do today! In this culture, our students need to be encouraged everyday to remember that the creator of all things stands with us, His children, as the deliverer!
Xchange was the once again better than it ever has been! We experienced God is such an amazing fashion, the speakers, the messages, the music and every moment we were together accentuated our 2019 summer theme, "For His name Sake." Then there was the actual camp theme! "Tell Your Story", if you haven't seen all the testimonies on social media, you'll have to take the time or scroll down. We will be putting up a lot of them here on the site.
One more thing to share, see all the hands up there on the camp's poster, those are the hands of everyone in the youth group. If you are looking for a place to belong, we love new people! Come join us this Wednesday night, our coffee shop opens around 5ish, then we start worship at 6 (again -ish).
Xchange 2019 is all about your story. We believe Jesus paid for all our stories with His life and that makes a few things clear:
1) Your Story is Priceless
2) Your story is worth Telling
3) God loves your story because He loves You
Here are some of our friends telling their story about Xchange to get us warmed up for Camp!

The Grind Covenant:
We rise every morning making a new commitment to keep our minds set on what God loves
We study His Word and learn to recognize His direction as He speaks to our hearts in prayer.
We love God, we love everybody and we are committed to the practice of loving people daily.
God created us to reflect His light into the world and gain dominion over it as we work together. As His children we are thankful for this gift and purpose.
We rest well, knowing in Jesus, we are more than conquerers!
