Connecting The Advent Calendar
The Advent Calendar is part of Camp’s Prayer, Word, & Worship Initiative — our efforts to fellowship and share deep prayer, immersion in the Word that reveals Jesus, and sold-out worship to the King — even when we’re not all at Camp. As we build this initiative, we’d like volunteers to join us by bringing their artistic and spiritual gifts to bear for the benefit and growth of all of us.
In conjunction with this, projects like the Advent Calendar are also important for our Discipleship & Leadership Development Initiative. A critical part of developing leaders and followers of Jesus is giving them space to develop their voice, style, and ministry. Camp is focusing in the next season on doing this with young adults, so it seemed fitting to invite Katrina, a young adult who considers Camp one of her spiritual homes, to produce this series.

Winter: Life Under the Surface
On the surface, winter with its cracking and cold seems like the enemy of life. Everything sleeps as though dead, and Camp — quiet and empty — sits waiting. But under the surface, winter is revealed to be a friend to life, not an enemy. In the deep frost, God opens the soil for Spring’s…

What is A Mission Statement?
On the LMC NYC District call this month, Dr. Tiffany shared critical information on what is and what is not a mission statement. This is critical as we think about moving the congregations in our district forward towards mission, optimize the mission already underway, and align together on the LMC mission as district churches. In…
A Spirit-filled Christmas: The Joy in Judgement
