Immanuel Church Camp

Each year, we hold a church camp where we gather together over a weekend at Warrambui Retreat and conference centre for a time of fellowship, teaching sessions and fun for all ages.

This year, approximately 80 people gathered in May over the duration of the weekend to explore the theme 'Fruitful, not productive. Work & Rest' with guest speaker Amy Erickson. Amy Erickson (PhD, University of Aberdeen) teaches theology and ethics at St. Mark's National Theological Centre. Her theological interests are biblical hermeneutics (how we read scripture) and ecclesiology (being the church), with a special focus on church discipline. She has recently co-authored Sabbath Gospel: A New Narrative of Time, Rest, and the Work of the Church with Greg Wagenfuhr. Amy belongs to her church family at St. John's Anglican in Reid and loves gardening, hiking, and sour dough bread making.

"The opportunity to speak with church members - from young children to older members - some I had not spoken to before."

"Good Teaching and the discussions at our tables. The table set up makes interaction much easier."

"We loved the opportunity to interact with people of all ages and backgrounds - also just to have fun with people while sharing our faith."

"Time together with others from our community. The discussions during the sessions with Amy. Get to know you games & Saturday evening was fun."

"It was great to see how the kids/younger people were involved and embraced, even when this makes things a little chaotic."

"Music, engagement and interaction with others. Children had a really great time - basketball, community walk."

"Hanging out with others, especially those from Molonglo who we don't get to see that regularly."
