Be watchful and strengthen what remains.....
“Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him;” (Psalm 37:7)
Rest – what a great idea. In this fast paced, consumer driven society, this word stands as a beacon of light amidst the ever crashing waves of uncertainty and anxiety. Rest is not only a great idea, but it was God’s idea first. God knows our weakness, our frailty; He knows our need to rest. Some think they know better than God and press forward with stimulants to keep up the restless pace encouraged by those around them. Eventually health and age prove what God had always prescribed; rest is necessary for own health and general well-being.
“Rest in the LORD” – Lasting rest is found in the Lord. Medication, meditation and sleep might bring temporary relief, but lasting rest is only found in a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Jesus himself promised;
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” (Matthew 11:28-29)
If you have been trying to keep up with a pace that is unhealthy and would like to know more about the rest that is found in a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ, feel free to contact me or come out to our Sunday morning services here at the Camp.
No Family Day at the Lake
We are taking a rest from “Family Day at the Lake” this year. We are looking forward to offering this event in 2018. We are also looking forward to a wonderful camping season and seeing all of you throughout the summer. Our camps are posted online and open for registration at slwc.ca.
Summer Staff Applications
Every year we hire about thirty summer staff to serve here at Silver Lake. If you are interested, or know someone who might be interested in this opportunity you can apply online, beginning March 1st through to March 31st. There are three requirements for those who would be interested in applying;
- You must be at least 15 years old.
- You must have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that is evident to those who know you.
- You must have a desire to see others come to know Jesus personally or grow in their relationship with Him.
If this describes yourself or someone you know, we would invite you to apply during the month of March. No previous camp experience is required. Training is provided.
With Love,
The Gosse Family
