FCC JUNIOR CAMP
Article written by John Won and Tin Yow, Camp Co-Directors,
Padstow Chinese Congregational Church
THEME:
JESUS, KING OF THE JUNGLE
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Jesus: the Baby King (Matthew 2: 1-11)
Jesus: the God King (Mathew 14: 22-36)
Jesus: the Servant King (John 13:4-16)
Jesus: the Saving King (Matthew 27: 35-44)
Jesus: Our Risen King (Colossians 3:5-17)
LEADERSHIP: This year’s leadership team consisted of co-directors Katherine Murray
(Wollongong Congregational Church), Greg Harvey (Miranda Congregational Church) and John
Won and Tin Yow (Padstow Chinese Congregational Church).
LEADERSHIP TEAM: The rest of the Leadership Team came from following Congregational
Churches;
Padstow Chinese (Vanessa Lin and Joyce Lam)
Bexley (Connie Leung)
Revesby (Rebecca Gray)
Miranda (Bronwyn Harvey, Robyn Harvey, Ben Smit-Colbran, James Follent, Emily Turner
and Rhys Ewing)
CAMPERS: 32 campers were registered but one camper had to withdraw before the camp as she
was unwell. These children came from 13 churches of which four were FCC churches.
We are thankful that God blessed us with good weather during the camp. We thank God that
the campers were all healthy throughout the camp except for minor falls that needed minimal
intervention.
Brief summary of the camp as follow;
MONDAY: The campers arrived by train. Some of the activities
included taking group photos, a bushwalk, teaching time and an
evening games night.
TUESDAY: We had teaching time and small group studies during the
morning, ‘messy games’ in the afternoon and a walk to Horseshoe Falls
to see the glow worms in the evening.

FCC JUNIOR CAMP
WEDNESDAY: We left early for our
excursion to Featherdale Wildlife Park. The
campers had an education session and
everyone was able to touch the animals
shown by the educator. We arrived back at
camp at 3.00 pm and had our teaching time
and small group studies. The evening
consisted of dressing-up as animals and
watching a movie “George of the Jungle.”
THURSDAY: We had our teaching time
and small group studies in the morning
and ctaft time in the afternoon. The
campers made wooden monkey boards
and zebras and lions were made with
plastic bottles. The evening consisted of
campfire meeting and we thank God that
11 campers made a commitment to follow
Jesus.
FRIDAY: The final day of Junior Camp is
always a sad day with lots of goodbyes, but
we had our teaching time and small group
studies in the morning, shared our final meal
together then headed to Hazelbrook station
for the trip home.
We are very grateful for Tony King (Miranda) for transporting camper’s luggage to and
from the camp. We are also grateful for Ben and Carolyn May (Camp Managers) for
accommodating us, graciously facilitating our delicious meal times during the week and
looking after all our needs. On behalf of the Co-Directors, we thank Miranda and
Padstow Chinese Congregational Churches for allowing us to use their church buses.
We would also like to make a special mention of Miss Katherine Murray. She did a
wonderful job as a first time Co-Director. Her passion and enthusiasm for Junior Camp
is amazing and the Junior Camp ministry is certainly in good hands with her as a CoDirector.
[I remember Katherine as an enthusiastic young camper, a devoted Junior Leader and Leader
during my time at Junior Camp and it is wonderful to hear of her continuing and steadfast
commitment to this FCC ministry. Editor]

KURRI KURRI ADVENTURE TIME 2014
“Wastewatchers”
Our “Adventure Time” program
was recently held during the first
week of the July School Holidays.
We had 22 willing leaders and
assistants, their involvement
ranged from front line leadership
and participation through to
behind the scenes organisation,
and we also had many who
prayerfully upheld this week of
Gospel outreach.
We ministered to 40 children over
the week, as well as some parents,
and it was a blessing to us all. Our
Bible teacher, Keith Wilson, held
the children’s attention with
picture stories and as a result the
children heard about Creation and
Jesus’ earthly ministry.
Please keep praying for the Word
of God to impact these children’s
lives for a long time to come as
they sing the songs and recount
the memory verses and for some to
come along to the Sunday School
groups of “Oasis” and
“Livewires”.
That His name may be glorified.

FCC CHURCHES IN ACTION
During the second week of the school holidays,
MIRANDA
CONGREGATIONAL
CHURCH
conducted their annual ‘Kids Holiday Club.’ This
year’s program had a ‘Super Hero’ theme. The aim of
the week was to show the children that Jesus is MORE
THAN a Super Hero. The program was presented by
Lyall Morris, who is a marvellous puppeteer from
OAC, Victoria. During these sessions he was ably
assisted by several of the young MCC leaders. Each day the children learned Bible
verses through various competitive activities and computer games.
Our mornings always commenced with a prayer time
when the leaders would give thanks to the Lord for
the privilege of serving within this ministry and for its
outreach. It was quite obvious others were praying
behind the scene because everything went as planned.
The attendance was between 50 - 60 children each
day! We can only give praise to Him! It was great to
see that many of the children came for the whole
week, so that they got the whole story!!!
The crafts for the week were:
Day 1: Creation garden.
Day 2: Maze, showing how King Josiah found the Law of God when he cleaned
the temple.
Day 3: Jesus and Peter walking on water.
Day 4: Jesus is the only superhero with miracle cards.
Day 5: Key ring with "Courage and ‘WWJD’".
There were 40 leaders and helpers who attended each
day and performed many and varied tasks, even to
making sure the toilets were cleaned for the following
day.
Singing was a highlight of the day and children loved
the songs and were actively involved with lots of
actions. Some of the songs sung were - ‘I Am a C H R I S T I A N,’ ‘Jesus Love is very
Wonderful,’ ‘Love Your God’ and many others our theme song was ‘Jesus You're My
Superhero.’
Each day there was a special catering crew on board
who prepared morning teas and lunches. Food was
placed on tables and after children dutifully lined up
they went in a very orderly fashion to choose from a
variety of foodstuffs. There were many people who
donated cakes, sausage rolls, and lots of tasty
morsels or donated money to buy things. All those
who helped were really kind to donate their time
and effort to look after the children and adults too.

FCC CHURCHES IN ACTION
The family night on Friday was again a great success.
Many parents came to find out what Kids Holiday
Club is all about. We started with some games,
followed by singing, a PowerPoint presentation of the
week's activities and a final puppet story from Lyall
and his MCC team. Our Pastor, Tony Prestoe
addressed the parents and challenged them to decide
about their most important choice in life. Supper was
served and the children collected their show bags, which included Video Ezy popcorn
and vouchers. Video Ezy has been a sponsor of the Kids Holiday Club for many years.
This year we also included a DVD with an episode of "Bugtime Adventures" in the bag
(all the DVDs related to a Bible story). To God be all the glory.

BILLET
Rev. Paul Andrianatos, pastor from Living Bible Fellowship at Goondiwindi in
Queensland will be attending ‘Oxygen’ 4 - 7 August. He would appreciate the opportunity
to be billeted for his stay (4 - 7 August). Please contact the FCC Office (9588 5128) if you

THANKS
Thank you to all who have prayed and supported Joan Buttle. Joan has now been moved
to a permanent residency at the Salvation Army Weeroona Village, Bass Hill.
NEW FCC WEBSITE - NOW LIVE
Thanks to the hard work and many hours of his own time, Mr. Wayne Johnson, formerly
of Miranda Congregational Church, now living in Canberra, has designed a new FCC
website. His expertise and generosity is very much appreciated by the Fellowship.
Please check it out at: www.fcc-cong.org
REV. DR. ALAN HARLEY
Although Rev. Dr. Alan Harley’s ministry has taken him down different paths over past
years, he writes, “the FCC is still on my heart, and if opportunity arises, it would be my pleasure
to be of some small service to the Fellowship. In particular, I am still active in preaching, and would
be pleased to assist any of my brother preachers who are in need of a supply during holidays, etc.”
If your church would like to ask Alan to preach, please refer to the 2014 FCC Yearbook
(see page 65), for his contact details .
SYMPATHY
The Fellowship extends its sincere sympathy to the family of Mr. Ted Burton, Miranda
Congregational Church, who passed away on 19 July at the age of 89. Ted and his wife,
June lived in the Sutherland Shire for most of their lives before moving to the South Coast
a few years ago. Ted had many roles at Miranda, including deacon, Sunday School
Superintendant and good and true friend to everyone. His life was one of service to his
Lord.

CAN YOU HELP?
Rev. Joshua Choi, who is an accredited FCC minister is currently involved in a church
plant which meets in a public hall in the Drummoyne area. They have already grown to
the point where they need to find a larger place to worship. They would like to continue

Petersham, Marrickville area) but they are prepared to move across the river to the
Putney, Meadowbank, Gladesville, Ryde, Hunters Hill Area.

CHURCH IN FOCUS
Please pray for
Richmond Congregational Church,
the FCC Church in Focus, 2014.’
PHILIPPINES
Nannie and Awit Castillo have passed on
their heartfelt thanks to those who regularly
support the child sponsorship program and
to those who given sacrificially to support
various NACC ministries. They want you to
know your love gifts make a difference.
Please send your sponsorship support or
donations to the FCC Office or to the FCC
Bank Account (BSB No: 062 253 Account
Number: 0090 1607), clearly marked either
‘Philippines Sponsorship’ or ’Philippines
Donation.’
DEVELOP THE
DOLLAR HABIT
Develop the Dollar Habit’ was introduced as
a simple means of raising funds to support
the ministries of the Fellowship of
Congregational Churches, with every dollar
being used to support the work of Home
Mission (supporting churches and pastors),
World Mission (supporting our missionaries)
and Ministry and Leadership Training
(training pastors and leaders). The FCC does
not have membership fees for churches or its
members.
The concept is that ideally, each FCC
member and adherent would contribute just
$1 per week to the work of the FCC.
Unfortunately, we have not managed to
achieve this yet.
Specially marked envelopes are available for
your use. Please ask for these at your
church.
Thank you to those churches who have
recently contributed to the Dollar Habit. You
contribution is making a difference.
