For the 16th – 19th of July, SMYG is heading down to the beach at Scott’s Head to spend a whole 4 days together! We’ll hang out, go to the beach, play games, and dig deeply into the Bible through sessions, quiet times, and small groups. We’ll sing together, pray together, eat together and have an all round great time!
This year on camp, we will be working our way through the book of 1 Thessalonians. It’s quite a personal, affectionate letter of the apostle Paul. And yet, it also tackles topics some really big topics. As we work slowly through the book, the hope is that we’ll be equipped to live day in, day out for Christ in all of life.
We are hoping and praying that it will be a real time of growth as a community as we sit under God’s word together!
