Break Out One Options:
A little extra music: David Warren
Want a little more music. Join us for this low-key time to sing and worship together. If you have an instrument, please feel free to bring it to join along.
Pictures of God - Andrew Goins
I love photography. A well placed picture tells a story that words sometimes can’t convey. There is a biblical theology to art and it is a powerful tool we can use to praise God and bring Him glory. Come join in as we look at techniques to better our craft whether using a smart phone or DSLR cameras.
Focus on Relationships - David and Christin Stone
You might think the world would be easier if you could just communicate through your smart phone, but relationships, healthy ones, take energy and work. Whether roommates, dates, or family, let’s look at good communication and Godly ways to show love and respect.
Sabbath? Who Has Time For That?: Charity Roberson
Join us as we take a moment to pause and experience a little sabbath. We will also discuss what Sabbath is, how it can change your life and how to incorporate this spiritual practice into your life.
Conflict: Listening to People as a Type of Ministry: Chris Towles
There are plenty of people who are prepared to argue and condemn. There are a short supply of Christians who are ready to listen. When someone tells you that the issues that are deeply important to them, instead of telling them that you disagree, or explaining why you think they are wrong, what would it be like to listen to why it is important to them? What kind of gift is it to listen? Explore how Jesus listened to people and practice active listening skills.
Break Out Two Options:
Take a Hike: Adam Horton
Join us for a short walk around the Camp Thunderbird property as we connect the practice of movement, enjoying nature, and listening to God.
Creating Together: Mosaic Mirrors: Caitie Jackson
We all have different strengths and gifts. Our identity is often shaped by the things we do well, the way we look, or the things we own. In a world of social media, it is easy to compare ourselves to others leading to shame or guilt, or feeling as though we are not good enough. Sometimes it is easier to judge ourselves and others rather than celebrate different strengths and gifts in one another. But we are all beloved, created in God’s image. It is by joining together in using our gifts with love and by treating others and ourselves with love that we may begin to see the world, others, and ourselves as God does. We will be creating a mosaic of mirrors to display the ways we are all diverse, yet we are all an important piece in God’s mosaic.
