H2O ministries attend BigStuf in Panama City Beach
Sanibel Community Church H2O ministries sent 19 middle school and high school students, along with six leaders, to the Christian youth camp “BigStuf”in Panama City Beach on June 11-15.
Celebrating 30 years of ministry, BigStuf provides church youth groups with an experience that deepens their teens’ relationships with Christ and connects them with new and old friends.
Each session opened with praise and worship time, with 1,500 teens from Generation Z coming together to sing and praise God. They beamed with excitement and filled the room with explosive energy for one common goal – to be more Christ-like.
Speakers Joseph “Sojo” Sojourner and Stuart Hall captivated the audience by speaking Biblical truths and emphasizing this year’s theme, which is “Original.” The teens were stretched and reminded “to be an original, give God your ordinary and he’ll make it extraordinary.”
The students enjoyed seven sessions, interspersed with beach fun, volleyball, basketball, beach worship, small group time and an 1980s themed worship party. Each teen was challenged to “Do Big Stuff” and charged to go above and beyond to serve their community and families.
H2O Student Ministries is a youth program for sixth- through 12th-graders that meets on Wednesdays from 5 to 7 p.m. for middle-schoolers and from 6 to 8 p.m. for high-schoolers, as well as on Sundays from 11 a.m. to noon at Sanibel Community Church, at 1740 Periwinkle Way.
All students on the island and surrounding communities are welcome.
