Lucas Pender: A Personal Relationship with God
Hello, my name is Lucas Pender and this is my first year at Camp TED. I’m 15 years old and live outside of Boston, Massachusetts. I grew up in a Christian home and always knew about Jesus or at least heard His name. I always went to church on Sundays, prayed to God, and knew all the answers in Sunday school. I remember my Sunday school teacher teaching us about heaven and hell and I knew for a fact that…

Adult Christian Education Plan – Scope & Sequence
Our Adult Christian Education plan shows what we want to teach and when we intend to teach it. Educators might call this our scope and sequence. Our desire for this plan is to move each one of us further along in our journey towards Christ through the study of God’s Word (Bible), through engaging our hearts and minds (Internal Journey), and through putting into practice our Christian faith in our everyday lives (External Journey). The plan is meant to be flexible but…
Youth Discipleship Plan – Scope & Sequence
Parents of our youth, please check out our attached Youth Discipleship Plan. This is what teachers might call a scope and sequence. Scope covers what we’re teaching and sequence covers when we are hoping to teach it. The plan is meant to be flexible but also to give us a structure to work with. We will be touching on these topics during our Sunday morning Christian Education Hour and at our midweek Youth Bible Study. We look forward to discipling your teens…

What did the Lord use to encourage you?……. What did…

The Lord’s Day: Biblical, Historical, and Theological Foundations for Sunday Worship by Terry Iles
On September 8th 2019 we are transitioning our Saturday at 5:00pm worship service to Sundays at 9:30am. We are doing this to more fully emphasize discipleship in the life of our church body. As we prayerfully considered making this decision one of our past Elders, Terry Iles, wrote a thoughtful paper on his convictions regarding worshipping on Sundays. We encourage you to read it below and to also check out Saturday Worship Explained, an article we originally published in 2016…

The Lord’s Supper – You are how you eat
Last month during communion we talked about the expression “You are what you eat.” In communion Christ Jesus invites us to come and feed on him spiritually by remembering his life, death, and resurrection and by renewing our faith and trust in him. This month I want to add the expression, “You are how you eat.” Before the Apostle Paul ever tells us what is going on in the Lord’s Supper he confronts the church of Corinth over how they…
