Our Camp Pastor


Students and Parents,

I wanted to take a minute and give you a bit of information about our camp pastor for this summer's youth camp. His name is Ed Newton. I talked to one of my youth pastor friends who highly recommended this guy. As I was praying in January about trying to find the student group a good, solid, and well-rounded camp I immediately thought of Student Life. Then when I went to look at the dates that were still open (camps get full fast!), I noticed Ed was going to be doing one of their camps. That camp was open and the rest is history. You can check him out by going to his website - http://www.ednewton.org/. He gives plenty of info so parents and pastors can know who he is and what he stands for.

I noticed on Yahoo News that America's number one book is the Bible. The article makes me have two thoughts - 1) I am glad that our society still has some conscience as to having God's Word in their culture and lives, & 2) What if all those that read the Bible took it for what it is (2 Timothy 3:16,17; Hebrews 4:12) and applied it to their lives! We would have revival in this country, in our homes, and in our school systems!
Just wanted to leave you with that thought.
Thankful,
SB
