GRACE CAMP 2012

August 24th - 26th
Victoria BC

(588 Brookleigh Rd.)

Living Free and Victorious

Did you know that God, the Creator and Sustainer of all, has a designed purpose for your life? It's true. But His purpose (His will) for you is not so much something that He wants you to do or achieve, it's someone that He wants you to experience. That someone is Jesus! It's in Him that we find true life.

Jesus said it Himself, "I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of." John 10:10

Grace Connection Canada, Arbutus Christian Fellowship and Monday Celebration Group would like to invite you to this fantastic opportunity to hear the Good News of God's grace towards mankind and that includes, YOU! This three day event will include fun interaction, rich teaching sessions and no- stress relaxation. Check out all the information and find out how you can be part of this great summer event.

Plan, note and reserve your weekend of Aug. 24-26, 2012 for Grace Camp Victoria on next year's calendar! Whether it be on your brand-new 2012 hard calendar, your iPhone, computer, etc. mark these dates! We are praying that this year's Grace Camp will be an inspiration and encouragement to Victoria, surrounding area, and for those who will come from across BC and Canada. We surely have freely received and we are blessed to give out the Good News which is for EVERYONE!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.	What is the purpose of Grace Camp 2012?
A.	We believe that people should hear the Good News of God's grace towards them. There are many people who rarely even think about God. There are others who are turned off by religion, but want to know more about God. Others have come to know God personally through a relationship with Jesus, but they find themselves totally stressed out trying to live the Christian life. And there are those who have come to experience the beauty of resting in Jesus. They know the fulfillment of having Christ live His life in and through them. It's our desire to simply facilitate an event which could see all these people gather together to hear the life exchanging message of God's grace.
Q.	Who is putting on Grace Camp 2012?
A.	Partnering together for this event is our Grace Connection Canada leadership team (see About Us), Pastor John Schaper and Arbutus Christian Fellowship, as well as members of Monday Night Celebration Group. We are ordinary people who are in relationship with our extra-ordinary God.
