Be sure to visit the Farmville District Youth website for information about their missions and events.
Jan 6-8, 2012 was a great weekend for your youth - grades 7-12. The theme “Who Done It?” kept us Christ centered throughout the event. Rev. Ken Thrasher led us in spiritual discussions. There were general sessions with skits, music and dynamic speakers; exhilarating workshops; small group discussions; a dance; and lots of other fun activities. The concert featured the Christian punk rock band “True Liberty” LIVE! Following the concert, there was a time of fellowship including a casual dance and games! And of course -as always- great food.
A huge Thank you to all these outstanding churches and congregations that helped us have a productive and safe Mission Camp. See you next year!
