Some gifts fade with time.
Others become stories that last a lifetime.

This Christmas, give the gift of camp —
a place where friendships grow, confidence builds, and faith is formed through moments that matter.

Whether it’s a first camp experience or a return to a place they love, camp is a gift that keeps giving long after the season ends.

In the quiet of December, we remember why we gather at camp in the first place:
To slow down, to be present, and to meet God together.

Jesus came near then — and He still does.

Advent invites us to slow down, to wait with hope, and to make room for the light that is coming. 🤍

Midweek pause 🌿

Philippians 4:6–7 reminds us that peace isn’t something we earn — it’s something God gives when we trust Him with our worries.

When we bring our needs to Him with thanksgiving, fear loosens its grip and gratitude takes its place.

Take a moment today to breathe, pray, and notice the quiet peace that follows when you choose trust over anxiety.

Faith doesn’t always shout.

Sometimes, it’s just a whisper — a quiet “yes” when you’re not sure what comes next.

Jesus said that even faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains. 🌿

So if all you’ve got this week is a tiny bit of trust, that’s enough. God can grow it into something beautiful.

Stoked for another year of diving into God’s Word with this incredible crew!

Radicle + Rooted Week 1 was a total blast! We explored, sang hymns, studied God’s word, ate good food, hiked, bowled, and had so much fun.

Stoked for another year of diving into God’s Word with this incredible crew!
