Mt Waverley January Weekend 2019

Applications Now Open Apply Here

For January Weekend 2019 God willing we will be looking at Elijah to the theme - 'Capturing the Spirit and Power Today'.

In 2019 God willing January Weekend will be a 3 day camp, starting Friday evening and finishing Monday afternoon. During the weekend we have an opportunity to discuss how we can live the principles contained in the word of God so we may be true disciples of Christ. We look forward to seeing you there, God willing.

January Weekend provides plenty of scope for discussion and helping one another live the lessons from Elijah and how we should serve God in our modern world. We will be holding a mix of discussion groups and studies led by Bro Con Mitsos from the Woodville Ecclesia (SA). 

The Study - Elijah (Bro Con Mitsos)

The story of Elijah gives us a lot to think about in regards to who we serve. Do we serve God, or other things? Elijah wanted people to turn back to God, but it was difficult with Jezebel and Ahab leading people the wrong way. Israel had been warned that if they turned away from God the curses written in the Law would come on them. They suffered no rain for three and a half years but Jezebel was totally engrained in Baal worship and did not want to change.

Elijah was fully dedicated to serving God and wanted the children of Israel to turn back to Him. Elijah’s focus was on actions which made it absolutely clear that Yahweh was real, and people should serve Him instead of other gods. God reminded him that it was not all about doing big things. He also needed to be spending time with people, quietly encouraging them to be ready to every good work.

We would encourage you to study Elijah before the camp so that together we can understand the principles and how they apply to our lives. To study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

The Campsite

The camp will be held God willing at Mt Evelyn Recreation Camp 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.

Please remember

• Make the most of your time to study Elijah before the camp. The camp will be much more profitable for everyone if everyone has studied the appropriate chapters 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.
