CYF07 CLASSES

Each camper at the CYF07 Student Conference will take one class followed by small group time each day. Campers will choose their class at REGISTRATION on Sunday June 24th. Classes are FIRST COME / FIRST SERVED.

Below is a listing of the classes that will be offered this year:

Authentic Beauty

Rose Ishee

Calling all Princesses and Wanna-Be Princesses!!!

Are you looking for Prince Charming and all you can find in the Frog Prince? Are you confused about the world's definition of beauty? And what is this thing called "True Love"?

In this class, we will be learning what it means to be truly set apart for God. We will be exploring purity and modesty (and NO, modesty does not mean "geeky"), as well as what God's word says about true love, abortion and homosexuality (all possible byproducts of the world's view of what love all about?).

The goal of this class will be to find the beauty God has planned for every part of your life through God's word, as well as the study of the book Authentic Beauty by Leslie Ludy.

HIDE and SEEK

Tim Beck

A lot of us have done things in our lives that we're ashamed of. Some are small things, and some of us have really big and devastating things. Some of us even have things that people close to us don't know about—personal junk that we keep to ourselves so we don't have to deal with it. Because we don't know how to deal with it, do we? We're afraid that if we try, it's just going to make everything worse.

But no matter how big our junk is, no matter how much what we've done has impacted the way other people feel about us or how we feel about ourselves, it hasn't changed how God feels about us. God loves us, he always has and he always will. And there's nothing we can do to change that!

WORD

Joe Burkhardt

Does God's word still speak truth to people?

In this discussion-oriented class, we will study the scriptures for answers to the life questions that you bring to class or the questions that you come up with during the week. No topics are off-limits. Whatever questions you bring will be the subjects of our study.

Let's journey together into God's living and active word.

Drugs, Sex, and Rock-N-Roll

Seth Filburn

(for men only)

This will be a discussion based class that is for guys only and deals with guy specific issues such as pornography, drugs, music, drinking, sex, etc. We will discuss what you/society has to say about these issues and then look at what God has to say about them. We will then try to figure out what we should do.

Experiencing Abundant Life:

The Garden of Eden Revisited

Ann Fritz

Once you give your life to Christ, you expect changes. If you haven't seen those changes, we will be exploring why and what you can do to live a fuller, more joy-filled life in Christ. We will learn how to talk to God and hear him speak to you. We will also look how the work of the Holy Spirit affects our lives. Our scriptures will be based on Galatians 5 and Romans 6-8.

Every Young Woman's Battle

Jen Beck

The world you live in promotes sex as the answer to just about everything. The pressure to go along with the crowd is greater than ever before, and it’s easy to compromise in little ways that are a lot more harmful than they seem. You and your friends may become caught up in destructive relationships or sexual activities without even knowing how you got there. You just want to be normal–to fit in, to be liked, to look attractive to the opposite sex. But are you paying too high a price?

· learn how the sexual battle begins in your heart and mind
· understand your hunger for attention from guys
· recognize and avoid the potential pitfalls awaiting young women on the journey toward adulthood and possibly marriage
· find out how the media, novels, fashion, internet chat rooms, and body and beauty obsessions influence your sexual choices–and what you can do about it
· guard your mind, heart, and body against sexual and emotional compromise
· develop a deeper, more satisfying level of intimacy with God
