Snapshot

For January Weekend 2020, God willing, we will be looking at 2 Thessalonians to the theme ‘The Day of Christ is at Hand’.

The weekend will be a mixture of studies, discussion groups and activities. Our aim is to provide an environment where we can learn about the Word of God, discuss it, help one another to live its lessons, develop lasting spiritual friendships and enjoy activities together.

We look forward to seeing you there, God willing.

The Study

The second letter to our brothers and sisters at Thessalonica was one of two letters sent by Paul to an ecclesia which was young in its faith. Paul had worked with them, moved on, but never forgot them. In this letter, Paul sympathises with them in the suffering they experienced for the Gospel, as well as encouraging them that this was indeed for the development of their faith. Strong warnings are given for their own need to remain unshaken and steadfast in their faith before God. They are warned of the falling away from truth which would occur, so that they can see the error of that way and be ready.
All these are very relevant to ourselves as young people as we begin and develop in our faith in God today. The message which fills the whole of Paul's letter though, is an emphasis and longing for the kingdom. We with our brothers and sisters must live in anticipation of God’s kingdom, for the day of Christ is at hand.

We would encourage you to study 2 Thessalonians before the camp so that together we can understand the principles and how they apply to our lives.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Tim 2v15

The Campsite

The camp will be held God willing at Mt Evelyn Recreation Camp (Tramway Road, Mt Evelyn) which is situated about an hour east of Melbourne. It is a wonderful secluded location surrounded by towering Eucalyptus trees and a creek flowing past on one of the borders.

Basis of Fellowship

Our fellowship is based upon the Word of God and living a life according to it. It also requires a sincere acceptance of the Birmingham Amended Statement of Faith and the Australian Unity Booklet.

Please remember

• Make the most of your time to study 2 Thessalonians before the camp. The camp will be much more profitable for everyone if we have all studied the section of God's Word before attending the camp.
• We expect the behaviour of all young people to be wholesome and constructive as befits the high calling to which we aspire. Only this will create a spiritually motivating weekend for all.
• Dress is to be modest and conservative at all times including swimwear. Girls are asked not to wear short skirts or dresses & no trousers or shorts (unless while swimming). Formal attire is required for the memorial meeting, and chairmen of all meetings are required to wear a tie.
• We request that no music, musical instruments, or personal music/media devices be brought to the weekend. This is so we can focus on God’s Word and developing a relationship with Him and also our fellow young people.
