VdC #66 WEEKEND

Sept 24 - 27th, 2026​

Sierra Christian Camp

Rector: Bruce Boord

- Message from Rector -

Calling all Cooks, Cleaners, and Cristoistas!

Do you want to experience the fellowship and team spirit of a VDC Weekend? Being part of this team is about something much larger than ourselves. We invite you to join the Holy Spirit team and work alongside others who share that same desire to serve. VDC 66!   


Many of us arrive at our first weekend asking, "What can I do to help?" and leave feeling like we were truly God's feet and hands. If you want to experience that closeness to the Spirit again, please join us so that "the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."  

 

The dates of the weekend are September 24-27, 2026 at Sierra Christian Camp in Posey, CA.

DEVOTIONAL

After centuries of handling and mishandling, most religious words have become so shopworn nobody's much interesting anymore. Not so with grace, for some reason. Mysteriously, even derivatives like gracious and graceful still have some of the bloom left.
Grace is something you can never get but can only be given. There's no way to earn it or deserve it or bring it about anymore than you can deserve the taste of raspberries and cream or earn good looks or bring about your own birth.
A good sleep is grace and so are good dreams. Most tears are grace. The smell of rain is grace. Somebody loving you is grace. Loving somebody is grace. Have you ever tried to love somebody? A crucial eccentricity of the Christian faith is the assertion that people are saved by grace. There's nothing you have to do. There's nothing you have to do. There's nothing you have to do. The grace of God means something like; Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn't have been complete without you. Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid. I am with you. Nothing can ever separate us. It's for you I created the universe. I love you.
There's only one catch. Like any other gift, the gift of grace can be yours only if you'll reach out and take it. Maybe being able to reach out and take it is a gift too.
