My thoughts on Celebration:

I've always been conscientious of taking credit for anything spiritual... because it surely isn't me, right? It's God... but the overwhelming understanding of learning to embrace my giftedness and play my part is what I will remember Celebration 2018 by. Each of us were created with such powerful intention and attention to every detail. As we stand in our giftedness and allow God to bring out His/ OUR best, the   "rest" of us are exceedingly blessed. It is our duty and privilege to step into our God-given roles and use our talents for the glory of God and the benefit of the body.

Thank you for participating in our Celebration community this year. All of you brought such depth and flavor to our camp!

Next year's theme is THE ROAD TO ZION.

JJ, Christy, Jeff and I very much appreciate your prayerful support, but we also encourage you to extend the invitation to those whom God puts on your heart. So often it is the simple act of caring enough to INVITE that lifts up lonely, broken hearts. We look very forward to sharing with you and your friends and family next summer!
