Song and Story Fest 2010:
"Standing
Up With Jesus"
Camp Swatara, Lebanon, PA
June 27-July 3, 2010
On Earth Peace is co-sponsoring the
fourteenth annual Song & Story Fest, a family
camp where everyone is family!
As differences and dissension roil the church, it seems
like a good time to focus on our founder, Jesus. Though
conflicting views of who he was abound, what he taught
and lived are less in dispute. The Brethren have always taken
these latter questions very seriously and have tried to follow Jesus’
way of living: peacefully, simply, and together. At least we used
to. It’s time for us to turn again to Jesus, to stand up with him
for the poor, oppressed, and excluded and against
the religious , political, and economic authorities who would kill the
spirit along with the body and the planet. So come and join us in
this Fest to strengthen your resolve, clarify your faith, and practice
“standing up with Jesus!”
This is the fourteenth summer in a row for these Song
and Story Fests and is our first venture into the great state of
Pennsylvania, heartland of the Church of the Brethren.
The Fest will begin on Sunday evening June 27 with
supper at 5:30 pm, an opening campfire, and some music and dancing.
We’ll close the Fest on Saturday morning, July 3, after breakfast,
worship, and hugs. This should give time to get to Pittsburgh for
those attending Annual Conference.
We will be together in a daily routine of morning
gatherings, workshop groups, afternoon free times, evening campfires
and concerts. This is the ideal camp for those who enjoy a wide variety
of musical styles and storytelling as part of their spritual worship
and growth!
This year's Song & Story Fest will be at
Camp Sawatara, at the foot of beautiful Blue Mountain in northwestern
Berks County, Pennsylvania, near Lebanon.
