WELCOME LETTER

WELCOME CAMPERS, ONE AND ALL!

This is your invitation to join us at Celebration 2022! You have two ways you can join us this year! On-Line or Face-to-Face! YAY!

This year's theme is “Live in Jubilee.”

How can one LIVE in Jubilee? What is jubilee? Isn't that for Israelites only?

Great questions! We will delve deeper into those at Celebration, but to wet your whistle I will explain in part now.

To understand the present, we must understand the past. Leviticus 25:9-12 is a great place to start your exploration. 10 says "Set this year apart as holy, a time to proclaim freedom throughout the land for all who live there."

Also, explore Deuteronomy 15:1,2. 1 which tells us to ". . . Cancel all debts of everyone who owes you money."

We live the New Testament life though, so how can we apply this to the "Live" part of our theme? We live in God's grace! Jesus canceled all our debts to God! The captives of the evil one are set free! And all that has been taken from us will be restored to running over!

At Celebration, we will learn about LIVING in Jubilee, the Jubilee that Christ is. Jesus is "The Word made flesh. . ." (John 1:14) He spoke life into us and at Celebration, we will speak life into each other as Jesus taught us. We will hear testimonies from our brothers and sisters about how they have either spoken life into someone or have had life spoken into them. I know you have a testimony! Let me know if you'd like to share it at Celebration!

I can't wait to see each of you there, but please, if you need to stay home for whatever reason, do not feel like you will miss out. Remember, you can attend via On-Line, and will be counted as a valued attendee.

Let us know, on your registration form, which way you will be attending Celebration 2022.

Love and blessings to each of you,

Christy and JJ Ripsam                                        (click outside the letter to end popup)
