Together In Christ Experience

What a weekend we had at Camp Wamava. On Friday night, we kicked off the "Together In Christ" Experience with Joe Kaplan and his family! The lessons were awesome!! Our central focus was on the "church family". It was a non-stopping, action-packed thriller throughout the weekend with lessons, outdoor activities, cooking, cleaning, fellowshipping and family challenges. Here are some highlights (pictures) of the weekend deaf retreat! Enjoy!

Tim and Cario Stewart led us in awesome singing of the song, "You Are Holy, Prince of Peace"














The kids were fantastic over the weekend!! In the picture, they're playing "Shoot The Elephant" game..














Brother Jason Bard leading us to God in closing prayer..




















One of the five keynote lessons on "Family", Joe Kaplan stresses the importance of praying for each other..














During Sunday's Worship (Lord's Supper), we followed "Jesus" in a re-enactment of Jesus' walk from the scourging to Golgotha (where Jesus was crucified). In the picture is Darrin Forshay carrying the wooden cross while Dennis Cesone and Neil Ferris, holding a whip, mock "Jesus".














(Re-enactment) "Jesus" being crucified and lifted up before beginning the Lord's Supper. What a great way to visualize how Jesus suffered for the sins of humanity!!














Fairfax Family circles around the cross observing the Lord's death and remembering that Jesus gave His body (bread) and shed his blood (wine) to cover the sins of the world!















A wonderful visual reminder of all Jesus did for us!!
