A battery and charger have gone missing at camp. If you’ve borrowed them, picked them up by mistake or know where they are, please return them to the Superintendent’s Office so they can be reunited with their owner. Thank you!

Only two conditions

1. you have held a church office or are related to someone who has
2. You can find the Esther in the white ACA health benefits hat just beside the pie shop before 2:00pm. Then do the comparison with her.

She will also be here at the same place from 11:30am tomorrow. She can save you so much money on your health insurance, that a free pie is tiny in comparison to how much you will save if you change to ACA health. But she will give you a free pie voucher just for looking at the cost and benefits difference.

She leaves tomorrow afternoon, so Friday is too late!

Go ICE SKATING or explore Aussie World on us! A few tiny caveats though, we are looking for 40 adults that have current blue cards and are ADSAFE compliant to look after Juniors on their outing. We are trying to have a 1 adult per 8 juniors ratio.

You get free entry, free ice skate hire, and free time with some energetic juniors having the time of their life. A genuine service.

We’re looking for volunteers to help with our Junior Division afternoon activities!
⛸️ Wednesday: Ice Skating
🎢 Thursday: Aussie World

If you’re available to come along and help supervise a small group of Juniors on any of these afternoons, we’d love to hear from you.

We can’t stress enough, volunteers won’t be accepted without a current Blue Card and being ADsafe compliant.

A $50 ABC voucher will be gifted to those selected to be a part of a focus group.

We want to hear your thoughts, insights and ideas about Sabbath School. Registrations are still open to join a focus group at Big Camp 26. Register now and we will be in contact with you.

It is with sadness that we must announce a cancellation of the Gift of Hearing workshop, due to recent personal reasons. Sadly this will be unable to be conducted this week.

The Acti-Pass office is right beside the registration office just between the swimming pool and the carpark. If you have purchased or need to purchase acti-passes they must be collected before children or youth can attend the activities. Please make sure that this happens this morning.

We have a record number of people booked for Big Camp this year, so we urgently need volunteers to help put up tents this Sunday, 13 September.

Volunteers must:

• Be 16 years or older
• Wear enclosed shoes

Big Camp will donate $15 for every tent raised*, with all funds supporting the ministry to people experiencing homelessness conducted by LifeSwich SDA Community Church in Goodna.

It will be hard work—but also a lot of fun working alongside friends. A free lunch will be provided.

Volunteers will also be needed to dismantle the tents on Sunday, 27 September, after Big Camp. Another $15 will be donated for every tent taken down.

To volunteer, call Pastor Ben Turner on 0414 642 504
*If you are able to bring a team of 10 or more from your local church, your teams funds will go to your local church
