OVERFLOW
so blessed, YOU can't contain it!
Wednesday, November 5, 2008
Dan: There's a great sense of excitement and urgency as we plan this camp. There's much to be done, but so far, we're on track. Being part of the committee gives me great joy to be part of something bigger than myself, to be able to serve as chairman is a such a privilege and I won't let anyone down.
Truda: I’ll say it’s going to be exciting ‘cause I’ll be working with some people whom I’ve not worked with before. I’m also excited to find out how God is going to use all of us for His good works to His glory! Wonder what’s in store in His plans...
D: We were having a meeting and Serene was pouring a drink and talking about God's blessings, and she was so engrossed that the cup started to OVERFLOW!Ok, not really. Overflow came to us as an inspiration that hit Serene on the head. We tried to probe the word exhaustively during one of the earlier meetings and unanimously decided that it was too broad to handle. But before we moved on to narrow the theme, we were struck by how Overflow was so apt in describing how God really is, as a God who surpasses all our expectations.
T: In a nutshell, you’ve come to know your identity in Christ (through last year’s camp, and the study of Ephesians), that through Christ, the old has gone and the new has come. Now it’s time to understand fully the OVERFLOW of blessings that God has poured into your life... Blessings that spill over the brim! And it’s time to let these blessings OVERFLOW into how you live your life, and into your service to God and His people... to the glory of His name!
D: Overflow is both a timely reminder about the Generous God we serve as well as a desire to see our expectations surpassed! We're actually catering for more people than we have in our ministry, so everyone out there can join us! We ourselves are expecting an overflow!What is something campers can look out for at this camp that is different from that of previous years' camps?
T: So blessed we can’t contain it! Oh wait... That’s our tagline!
D: We're heading to the Great Outdoors this time, away from our computers, Xbox, Wii, DS, PSP.... sigh.
T: This year’s camp is going to be specially designed so that both MCI Youths AND all our other friends who want to join us can come together and have a really good time of bonding, adventure and fun. Also, for those who are curious about MCI, what God has done for us, or simply what it means to have God in our lives, this camp is the camp to go for!
5.What is one thing you would like to say to all campers (and potential campers out there?
D: Huh, only one thing? Hmm, Sign up lah! Then I'll have time to say the other things during the camp.
T: COME EXPERIENCE THE OVERFLOW!!!
6. One word to describe the camp committee?
D: HAWT - Hard at work...(thankfully).
T: Committed! (So everyone should just signup now!)
