Welcome
At any point in my life, if you had asked me about life’s priorities, I could have given the right answer. But my life has not always reflected the message I so easily preach.
Our theme for camp meeting this year is “Look and Live.” That is the priority.
When you suddenly come face to face with your own mortality, as one day you will, you will instantly realize that nothing else matters. The one true priority in this temporary life is your relationship with Jesus. He is your one and only way to life eternal.
And you cannot wait until the end to work on that. Prioritize it now. Look & live.
