Psalm 23 is one of the best known and beloved scriptures in the Old Testament and has provided comfort to God's children for ages to come. Much like how sheep need constant care from their shepherd, we too need guidance & protection that only God can provide. During this session, we will explore how God knows us, is with us, & blesses us.

Come join us at Junior Session where we will put aside all of my wants and seek God's Kingdom. Jesus says in Matt 6:33 to make the Kingdom of God our main concern. We will try to establish a pattern for our lives to always put God first. Of course there will be singing, devotionals, sports, classes, games, friendships, natural amphitheatre, and the occasional water fight. Join us as we grow closer to each other and closer to God by seeking his very essence.

It's easy to walk away from a fight when it doesn't seem too relevant. It's painless to shrug off a loss when the battle wasn't that important. It's seems comical to laugh at an enemy when they're standing across the room from you but what if they were standing toe to toe with you? What if it was the most relevant and important battle of your life? Could you stand and fight or run away? Psalm 56:4 states, "In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?" Can you handle the title, "The Ultimate Fighter"? Would others call you T.U.F.? Let's find out!!!

Come join us for a week of intense fun as we search God's word for the answers to these questions.

Love God, Love Others. Jesus summed up the whole Old Testament with these two phrases. They are the pillars of the Christian faith - "All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." Easy words to say, but harder to live by. It's not the programs we participate in, not the clubs we are members of, not how much money we give to charities, it is a way of life. At Intermediate session this year come and experience how to do the hard things.

Love God, Love Others.
