Camp Meeting

July 19-23, 2016

Together

Members in Ministry


Welcome to Gladstone Camp Meeting! We are so glad you chose to come and experience camp meeting this year. Our theme this year is Called Together… Members in Ministry. There is a special blessing that God gives as we fellowship, worship, and work together, and this becomes even more significant as we move closer to the return of Christ. You will be blessed each evening as Mike Tucker unpacks the Bible stories of salvation. Mike very recently lost his wife and ministry associate, Gayle, but is still wants to share his passion for Jesus' sacrifice and God’s gift of salvation. You will not want to miss any of the evening meetings. Each morning during the devotional time, our administrative team will be taking a look at the church just after Jesus returned to heaven. There are powerful parallels found in those chapters from the book of Acts that are significant for us today. Our Bible Study time at 9:00 am with Carl Cosaert will give you a whole new insight into the mentoring, modeling, and ministry of Paul and Timothy. Cosaert, one of our professors from Walla Walla University, will share insights from the second book of Timothy. Again, this will be a blessing each day as you hear the God-inspired thoughts shared from this small book of the New Testament. I can’t begin to tell you which workshops you need to attend as there are so many options and exciting topics being covered! There are also worship opportunities and activities for children and youth, as well as and some new and exciting opportunities for young adults. We know that God has a rich blessing in store for you as you enter these grounds. Welcome! Al Reimc

Estate Planning Basics: What You Need to Know Map it! Refer to the back cover for locations.

Lee Meadowcroft Conference Office Chapel

Estate planning can be a confusing and daunting task, but not all estates need to be complex. Even with simple or modest estates, however, an understanding of the documents required, and what they will do is essential. Why might a trust be appropriate and not a will? If married, why might you need a Power of Attorney document? This presentation will discuss these types of questions, go over the basic elements of estate documents, and dispel some common “myths” associated with the passing of your estate.

Melody Mason Zull Hall

Called to Christ through His Word: During Melody's three seminars, her key focus will be on the majesty, beauty, and holiness of God's Word and why we can trust it, live by it, and yield to it. You'll be amazed and inspired as you watch the Scriptures come alive as never before. Today... This practical and inspirational seminar will give attendees a new respect, awe, and appreciation for God's Word as Melody teaches the significance of how we are to handle the sacred texts of Scripture, and why it's so important that Scripture be the guiding rule of our lives.

Reversing Killer Diseases with Fork & Knife – pt 1 Hans Diehl Mt. Hood Auditorium – Holden Convention Center

Reversing Excess Weight! – Did you know that as a church we no longer have to rely on the dietary counsel of E. G. White given more than 150 years ago?

Get updated on the therapeutic value of a plant based whole food centered diet in turning around excess weight (Wednesday), type 2 diabetes (Thursday), and coronary heart disease (Friday) while reducing the costs for medicines and foods, reducing the ecological foot print and practicing compassion towards all creation.

Called to Power

THE WORD in Science – pt 2

Acts 2:1-13—The early Church started with an explosion of power. We long to have the same kind of power in our lives and congregations that launched Christ’s church in Acts. What was it? Why did Christ give it? What is it for? And How do we get it today?

The Big Bang! — Theories presented as fact, guesses published as evidence, costly projects based on assumptions - is this true science? A comparison of creation and evolution’s logic, as well as issues even the evolutionary scientists are re-visiting.

We will cover information related to how and why adults sexually abuse children, common seduction or, “grooming tactics” used by offenders and factors that make churches particularly vulnerable. The presentation will also address reasonable child safety policies, suggestions for safety planning with “known” offenders and specialized prevention programs for employees, volunteers and parents. By taking the time to learn more about child sexual abuse and the people who commit these crimes, you will be joining a growing number of Christians who are becoming better educated about protecting children and safeguarding our church.

Reaching Out Wayne Blakely Zull Hall

After years of silence, how do we share the “love in truth” message God has commissioned us with? In a postmodern world, many have cheapened the definition of “love” to simply mean permission. Too often, we’ve become comfortable in sin and no longer address the great need of Christ triumphant in our lives. Spiritually, we need love as well as knowledge – when working with others, we need to share both love and knowledge.

The book of books throughout the ages – pt 1

IdenTity Matters– We're under attack

How ancient is the biblical text today? Can We trust the Bible we are reading? What is the most accurate translation? These and many more interesting questions will be answered during this unique Bible expo which will feature unique examples of the ancient manuscripts of the Bible and its translations. A copy of the Isaiah scroll found in Qumran; a unique Hebrew Bible printed in 1618, a text used earlier by Martin Luther in his translation of the German Old Testament and many other interesting artifacts will be presented.

Now that I’ve accepted God, do my temptations dictate my identity? How does identity shape my relationship with God? Does my victory in Christ guarantee that I will marry someone of the opposite sex? Are we accepting the language of others over the principles of God's Word? Almost daily, someone somewhere is trying to reshape how you think. We’re at a precipice where there are those today who equate human knowledge to God’s knowledge. Let’s take a look at the only place where we are safe. Who does God say that I am?

SeRpentology 2.0: The Dark Art of Seduction

Any military leader will tell you that the success of an offensive or defensive campaign largely rests on the intelligence or reconnaissance obtained concerning the enemy. And we are battling an enemy oblivious to his tactics and strategies. Sadly the consequences of our ignorance is literally deadly… Until now. In this workshop we are going to leverage what we learned about our neurobiology and the science of wholeness to understand how we got tricked in the first place; how those tricks are being used on us today; and how we can defeat the tricks that are being hurled at us using of all things – God’s “secret place”!

7:00pm-9:00pm Salvation Stories - pt 5 Mike Tucker Plaza Pavilion

Join us as we take a look at the salvation story found in Luke 13:22-30.


Near the beginning of scripture Adam and Eve hid from God because of their shame, covering themselves with leaves in an attempt to make it look like everything was okay. Humanity has been covering up in the presence of God ever since. Most us want the abundant life talked about in scripture, but our shame for the things we have done or have had done to us keep us at arms length from God. Jesus came to break that separation and give us life. Because of Jesus we can come boldly before God UNASHAMED, confident that we are known, accepted, and fully loved.
