Youth Summer Camp (YSC) is a week-long summer retreat for our middle school and high school students (incoming 7th – HS grads). This year we will return to Pine Valley for a week of singing, preaching, relationship-building, reflection and games. We hope for this to be a welcome retreat from the craziness of life and an unexpected entrance in the presence of God. We hope you can join us this year!

Dates: Sunday August 7 - Friday, August 12, 2022
Theme: [tbd] - To Be Discerned
Theme Verse: 1 John 4:1
Speaker: Edwin Martinez (Imago Dei Church)
Contact: William Tai (Youth Minister) williamtai@breadoflifechurch.org

We live in a day and age where anyone with access to the internet can look up whatever they want to know about a certain topic. It only takes a few touches of our smartphones to read this fact or that opinion article. And even when we aren't seeking to learn something or be influenced by the internet, social media and our peers are subtly sharing certain ideals to us. We are surrounded by voices that try to tell us what we should believe about ourselves or about other people or about the issues of the day. As Christians, how do we deal with all these voices?

The apostle John advises us to be discerning and to not believe everything that we hear. We need to test everything against the Word of God so that what shapes our thinking is from God and not from the world. At this year's YSC, we are going to be challenged to identify what voices we are hearing already and how to better hear God's voice in all the commotion of our lives.
