Youth Summer Camp (YSC) is a week-long summer retreat for our middle school and high school students (incoming 7th – HS grads). Every August, we spend a week at Pine Valley Bible Conference Center (30 minutes east of San Diego). At YSC, we plan for a week of singing, preaching, relationship-building, reflection and games. It is a welcome retreat from the craziness of life and is often an unexpected entrance into the presence of God. For many of our students, YSC is one of the major highlights of the summer. We hope you can join us this year!
We probably don’t remember this, but as babies and little children, we all grew up in awe and wonder at everything life had to offer. Most of what our parents did or taught us seemed amazing. As life has gone on and you’ve matured both in age and knowledge, have you lost your sense of wonder? It is clear that King David, even in his older age, is in awe and wonder of who God is and that God would care for him at all. Even though God is the creator of all things, Lord of the universe, and doesn’t need us at all, we see through His character (wrath, mercy, justice, love, etc) and the Gospel that he cares deeply for us, more than anyone else cares for us. It’s this kind of wonder that we want to grasp about God, and as we fall deeper in love and wonder of who God is and what He’s done for us, it will transform our lives to be more like Christ.
