Discovery week 29th September - 3rd October

It is not long until discovery week now. We are wanting this year's discovery week to be a real taste of life at the centre, incorporating the things that really make us unique in Broken Hill. So as well as good teaching and friendship we will have times to watch sunsets, sit around campfires and camp out under the stars.

Discovery week gives people who are curious about Cornerstone a chance to check it out, but as well as being a time for new people to come, we are also wanting past disciples to feel free to come along and to see discovery week as a time of renewal and a time to touch base with us here at the centre again. Even better if they come and enjoy themselves and bring a friend or two.

This year we will be focussing on the theme of following in the steps of the master, thinking through what it really means to follow Jesus, how Jesus being the Lord changes the way that we view life and how we live, what Jesus approach to mission and discipleship looks like and how Jesus demonstrated servant leadership.

The cost for the week will be $60. Let us know if you are coming soon.

leadership camp 2008

We have just finished our leadership camp for year 9/10 students from schools in South Australia. We had 8 students, who were keen to try and develop as leaders and to learn how to take mission seriously in their school. We had a series of talks based around Pete's leadership triangle, took the students out for a 2 day desert camp (a real highlight for many of them), had leadership and group activities. They joined us for scripture at Central and shared their stories. 

Part of the aim of the camp was to get them to think through a plan for having an impact in their own schools and to end up with one or two goals in mission. They all did this and I will visit them later in the year to find out how it is going. It is really good to get young people starting to think outwardly and to see the things that they are going to have to give up to get there. 

Our first years worked hard as they took part in various aspects of the camp from running activities, supervising the students and catering for the camp and centre. It was a good experience for them as well in learning how to lead and organise. We are all tired from the week but feel that it was a really worthwhile time.

Pray for Emily, Ainslie, Amy, Ryan, Ryan, Bethany, Libby and Rachel the students from the camp.
