SEXUAL PURITY—Ian Toppin speaks about abstaining
from sex until marriage.
TEMPLE, Georgia—More than 80 teens from Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi met at Woodland Christian Camp in Temple, April 5 to 7, to celebrate Discovery Weekend 2002. The theme was "Helping Disciples Make Disciples."
The weekend kicked off April 5 with group prayer, organized games and a late night hot dog and marshmallow roast. Two upbeat sessions, "Standing Up for Jesus" and "Sexual Purity" (attendance with parental permission), started the day on Saturday, while the afternoon brought basketball, volleyball, canoeing, hiking and fishing. The night ended with a display of talent as several students sang contemporary Christian songs in a talent show that concluded with a dance.
Al Barr, district superintendent, capped off the weekend by leading the students in praise and worship, sharing a message of the need of Jesus’ sacrifice, all culminating with the students sharing communion together.
Naomi Cheeks of Kennesaw, Georgia, exclaimed, "This is what it’s all about—meeting new friends who have the same desire to worship our Lord and Savior and have fun doing it!" Many teens expressed their excitement about next year’s Discovery Weekend and their desire to invite friends to share in the fellowship of friends and believers. Anthony Mullins.
