SPIRITUAL GROWTH
We are excited to have Captains Vinyl and Brenna Lee returning as our chaplains this year. The theme is Timeless. We will be exploring traditional hymns of the church and their meanings and how they relate to modern day songs. The meaning behind these songs stays the same even though the style may change.
There will be devotional thoughts included in the the evening programs, as well as daily Morning Manna and cabin devotions.
