"WALK IN" WINTER CAMP '06



WOW THIS IS GONNA BE A BIG ONE!!! We had a great turn out of a Winter Camp this year. The Lord was so faithful for this special weekend for these kids. God worked so mightly through all the kids, counselors, and pastors. We even got snow. What a blessing it was this time around.


We had great times of worship. We gave the kids plenty of opportunity to praise their Maker all weekend long. All of us were so blessed by each worship leaders time to thank God, and God was well pleased. God tells us worshipping Him is a "sweet aroma" to Him. Sweeto! This Winter Camp was the first time God opened the door for us to hold afterglows on both Friday and Saturday. It was amazing. These are the groups we were so blessed to worship along side with (in order with pictures): Joseph Tata, CC Creekside, Royce and Daniel (from Whittier), CC Norco, Sons of Tribe (mostly Samoan Rap/R&B/Raggae group), and CC Living Water Youth Group band. It was a great time!





Then we had our Pastors teach. We learned to "Walk In" the Spirit by just believing in Jesus Christ and receiving power to serve the Lord through His Spirit. Our devotions were all based upon Galatians 5:16-25 where it talks about the works of the flesh (and how we should not fulfill it's lusts) and the gifts and works of the Spirit. Famous verses for the typical Christian, but it was so powerfully brought to life this weekend! Pastor Cisco (CCLW), Pastor Bob (CC Perris Valley), Pastor Louie (CC Norco), Pastor Pule (CCLW), and Pastor Gil (CC Bakersfield) were our main session teachers this weekend, not including small devotions and boy/girl, high school/junior high sessions. We had a great time learning more about Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
Fellowship was super good this weekend. We had lots of games, a fun time in "free time", and way to much food! The pictures explain themselves. We also had a great time in the fresh snow God blessed us with waking up Sunday morning. Beautiful!!









Well that is not even close to what God did in the hearts of His children! If you wanna catch all the pictures from the camp click on the links below to go directely to the Camp "Day's" or click on the E3G Photo Pages Link to the right to see this and other events.

E3G Movie Night





Instead of our normal youth group on Friday, we brought out the youth kids to watch The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe. Man we had a great time in fellowship! The leaders set up the stage in a Winter Wonderland theme, and of course with the movie experience munchies, including tons of popcorn, cookies, cokes, etc. Well after we all had some time in worship and finished watching the movie we had a time to reflect on the Narnia movie. There are many symbolic things of the character of Jesus and God. My favorite was how the Santa Clause guy gave presents and said "They are not toys! They are tools! Bear them well." Same thing with us, when God gives you gifts, in any way, bear them well and use them to accomplish His will. God bless!
