Believers' Convention 2012: Centennial Celebrations

Centennial Celebrations: FACEBOOK Invasion!

Here are the 'official' Facebook icons for the Centennial Celebrations. The idea is that ALL CHURCH OF GOD Facebook members and friends change their profile picture to one of these for the week of our Believers' Convention services. You can select one with your Zone colour (Blue - Zone1, Orange/Peach - Zone2, Yellow/Gold - Zone 3) or the one on a white background (if you're not 'partial'!) Let the invasion begin!!

Centennial Logo: versions for various applications

The Centennial Celebrations logo of the Church of God in Barbados is available in several versions for a range of applications. If you require versions of the logo that are not represented here, either in size or file type, send your query to reformation@caribsurf.com.

The Centennial Celebrations logo

The design of the centennial logo attempts to capture a bit of the story behind the Church of God's earliest days as a movement on the island and the theme of the Celebrations: "Hitherto, Witherto." The work in Barbados was started by a Barbadian, Bro. Philip Scantlebury. He gathered a small group in Mile & A Quarter under a tamarind tree (silhouette in the background). 18 churches and 2000 members later, the movement continues to be a vital part of Kingdom building in Barbados.

NYF Youth Camp 2009: Still Advancing. More Than Conquerors!

CAMP 2009: July 12-19........ A life altering experience..........

We know what camp did for many of us: the development, the friendships, the motivation... Let us not rob this younger generation of all that Camp has to offer.

This year our focus will be on Purity & Holiness, where we will deal with many of the TABOO topics that need to be addressed. Our theme for the year remains as..."Still Advancing. More Than Conquerors! Camp 2009 will be featuring two events to which YOU are invited...

ATLANTIS SUBMARINE
We have approx. 10 spaces remaining for persons outside of Camp. The cost is just $40... a saving of about $60-$100. If you are interested, please let us know by weekend, so we can make the relevant arrangements. We will be attending the 9:00am trip and the meeting spot is the Shallow Draught (where the Harbour master docks). Note: there is a limit to the capacity for each dive so please let us know beforehand.

OPEN NIGHT
Open Night this year will take place at Orange Hill at 6:00pm on Saturday July 18, 2009. We are asking each person attending to bring a contribution of $2.00 which will go towards our Youth Ministry and its future success.

Thank you for your support so far and we eagerly look forward to all that God has in store for us this week at Camp.
