LYP Teen Camp 2023: Almost-But-Not-Yet-Final Pics!

/in /by

As we post this, camp is over and kiddos and staff are on the way home. We are grateful to God for a wonderful year!

Here are some pics from the last few days, and we’ll endeavor to have an additional post later featuring the final banquet and dance. Below, you’ll see 2G at Aquatics and the conclusion of their relay race, 3B in Life Roles, then a lot of casual pictures taken just last Sabbath. Mr. Bobby Jacques asks the campers an important question as they are about to leave: Every message at camp has been about choosing life over death, so which will they choose? After that are a few overlooked pictures from earlier during camp, featuring 4B & 1G at the Topics & Dance.

LYP Teen Camp 2023: 1B in Archery, 2B in Scripture Education, 4B in Life Roles, then Evening Activities and the Camp Talent Show!

The 2023 LYP Teen Camp is slowly drawing to a close. We wanted to post a few more pictures for you before the Sabbath arrives here. (In particular, check out the pictures of the campers at the evening talent show!) It has been a wonderful year, and we do have a little bit left. The Sabbath is always something special, and then Sunday the campers enjoy a different schedule of activities, as directors disassemble their areas and prepare for leaving the next day and everyone gets ready for the end-of-camp dinner and dance that evening. Having a day set for camp-ending preparations is a real help, one more day of fun for the campers, and helps the preparation for the big dinner and dance not interfere with the sanctity of the Sabbath.

We’ll do our best to post some pictures on Sunday if we can. Until then, from the Texas Teen Camp, have a wonderful Sabbath!

The “regular days” of camp are winding down as the Sabbath approaches! We’ll try to get one more set of pictures up before sundown. All the campers are surely looking forward to a restful and rejuvenating Sabbath break before the last day’s special activities and the end-of-camp dance.

“Unpardonable Sin” Whiteboard video mentioned in Podcast 62

We thought this was so nicely done that it seemed worth posting on its own page. Podcast 62 was about the “Unpardonable Sin” and we linked to this video there on that page. But here it is, embedded, if you’d like to watch it. We think the whiteboard crew did a great job with this one—a video viewed on YouTube more than 1.3 million times. Have a look! (Then listen to the podcast! And read Mr. Ames’ article!)

Podcast 62: What Is the Unpardonable Sin?

/in /by

The question doesn’t just perplex those new to the idea—sometimes those of us who have heard of it before find ourselves worrying about it. Just what is the “unpardonable sin”? Have I committed it? How would I know? On today’s episode of the Living Youth Podcast, we answer these questions.

We also refer to other resources we have on the topic. Here is a link to some of those. The podcast channels are available right underneath, as usual.

Look at those handsome kiddos! 1G & 4B enjoy dressing up and a night of table topics and rug cuttin’.

Throwing out the phrase “happy camper” has become a “thing” in the English language, but seeing real-life happy campers is better. As camp inches closer to its conclusion, here’s more pictures from this week, with campers heading out on the bigger lake (the small lake is the practice-and-learn lake!) and happy campers simply enjoying each other’s company and fellowship. Thanks for your prayers this week!
