What's New This Week at Dwell

In the past few weeks, hundreds of students attended Dwell camps. Each camp saw students grow in spiritual interest, turn to Jesus, and take new steps of faith. This would not have been possible without the amazing spiritual and financial support in this church. Thank you to all who donated, prayed, and volunteered to make these camps happen!
Check out the exciting updates from each camp:
|
- 240 students attended
- 17 students started a relationship with Jesus
- 6 students shared their personal testimonies
- Students learned about Jesus' life, sacrifice and mission
- Over the entirety of camp, 3,412 verses were memorized and recited

- Students studied the controversial claims of Jesus
- This year students unpluggled for the week with limited access to phones. Many students expressed gratitude for time away from their screens

- Student volunteers from high school ministry helped run the camp
- Campers enjoyed music, crafts, bible teachings, and a water day
- Parents and campers came back on Thursday night for an end of camp celebration

Looking Forward to XSI 2026
|
The annual Xenos Summer Institute concluded last Friday with a teaching from Brian Adams and an excellent after party. There were about 2100 attendees over the 3 day conference. A huge thank you to the 376 volunteers that made this possible! Next year, the Xenos Summer Institute will move to a day-and-a-half format, held on Friday and Saturday. We hope this change will make it easier for people to participate. Mark your calendars for July 10th and 11th, 2026!

Be a Community Festival Vendor
|
The Dwell Community Festival is scheduled for September 27th. Festival Organizers are now taking applications for those who want to rent a vendor booth to sell handcrafted items. Space is limited and organizers will be working to provide a wide variety of items, so they will be limiting the number of people providing the same or similar products. No multi-level marketing products, direct sales, or catalog sales. The booths will be under big tents, and electric connections are available. An 8 foot table and chairs are provided as part of the $25 rental fee. The deadline to apply is August 8th. You will be notifed if you have been selected by August 15th. If you have questions, contact comfestvendors@gmail.com.

A Devotional from Brian Adams
|
Episode three of Brian Adams' four-part series on "setting your mind on things above." Why do Christians often neglect thinking about heaven? What can we do to develop a heavenly mindset in our daily lives? Brian challenges us to shift our focus from the distractions of this world to our eternal home—and reminds us that preparing for heaven starts now.
