Just a quick look at television, movies, music lyrics, and stories on the Internet reveals that there are a lot of social issues that confront us every day. How should a Christian respond to these issues?

Week One: Social Ills
There are a lot of wrongs to be made right.

Week Two: Helping Others
God blesses us to allow us to bless others.

Week Three: Marriage by Design
By design, God created man and woman for a purpose.

Week Four: Racial Lines
God doesn’t judge people by skin color–neither should we.

Islam. Mormonism. Agnosticism. Wicca. Every day, students are confronted with a variety of religious beliefs that stand in contrast to the truths of the Christian faith. Most Christian students are at a loss for how to respond in defense of their faith.

Week 1: Always Be Ready
You never know who might want to hear the truth.

Week 2: Share the Truth
Make the message of Christ easy to understand.

Week 3: Courage to Stand
You can take a stand and defend your faith.

Week 4: Live Your Faith
Your actions need to match what you say you believe.

This summer is going to be a little different. Centrifuge has introduced a new camping experience to their roster. This year they have added a “Jr. High only” Camp. I love this idea because it gives me a chance to focus only on the Jr. High students at camp and it is good for them because there will only be Jr. High students at the camp which takes away the pressure of competing with the High School.

It is time to sign up now! The Deadline is Wednesday, January 26. You must have a $50 deposit in office to reserve your spot at Camp. After the end of January I cannot guarantee a spot to camp. Dates and information for each camp is listed below. You can turn your deposit into the church office between the hours of 8:30-Noon and 1:00-4:30pm, Monday-Friday. Checks should be written to NGBC. Don’t wait signup today!
