About Church Camp



Every year we have people asked the question, “Why do I want to go to the church camp?” The answer will depend what you ask of yourself. Most people ask, “What do I gain or what can look for if I go to the church camp?” If this the question you ask, there will be many reasons to dissuade you from going. But if God says to you, “I am going to speak to you,” then you would certainly go and I know He will if you are seriously seeking to hear from Him.

Church camp is an annual retreat away from life’s day-to-day routine to connect with God and with one another in a different setting. It is an opportunity to gain a fresh perspective through focused preaching of God’s Word. The weekend away allows attendees to deepen their relationship with God and with one another. Going to church camp is not just to hear from God; but it is also about being “One Family under God” as this is the theme of our church in 2019. The speakers will be teaching us how to be such a church. We have speakers who are familiar to us too. We have Ben Ito, our English speaker, Pastor Seahawk, our Cantonese speaker and Rev. Dr. James Hwang, our Mandarin speaker. All these servants of God will be used by Him to speak to us.

We are looking forward to interact with you as “One Family Under God” at this year’s church camp again.

每年人們都會問, 「為什麼我會想去教會退修會?」 答案視乎你怎樣問自己。 大部分人會問:「 我去教會退修會 可以得到什麼?」 若你這樣問,你會有很多理由讓你卻步。 但若神對你說 : 「我要對你說話。」 你必定會去。 我深信,若你認真尋求神的說話, 祂必會對你說話。

教會退修會是每年一度聚會,讓我們暫時放下每天繁囂的生活,與神、與其他人一起在一個特別的環境中彼此連繫。退修會裡的主題信息分享讓我們的心志從神的話語中得到更新。這個週末退修會能讓人進深他們與神、與他人的關係。

參加退修會 ,不單只是去聽神的話語, 而且是經歷 「上帝之下、 主內一家」 。 這是我們今年教會的主題。講員將會教導我們如何作一間教會。 當中有講員是十分熟悉我們的。 我們有英語講員 Pastor Ben Ito, 倫思學牧師 (粵語講員) 及 黄嘉生牧師 (國語講員) 。 神將會使用這三位他的僕人去對我們說話。 我們盼望一起在今年的退修會中經歷「 上帝之下、主內一家」 。
