Final Day At FPTC

FPTC was a wonderful experience this year. As I stated during Awards Ceremony after the speakers during the Bible Class hour, there were so many people from Bear Valley who were involved in one way or another--all of which were significant parts to play in this year's camp. Eight young men were chosen by all the staff in recognition of the quality of their sermons. Every single camper was a "winner" for having taken time to study for and write a gospel sermon. Hopefully, hearts and souls will be touched from hearing all of these men. The elders selected the order in which the young men would speak. In Bible class, we had:

TYLER KING (Castle Rock, CO; member at Bear Valley)

DAVID BRICE (Las Vegas, NV; member at North Las Vegas)

SHAWN BRYANT (Preacher Of The Year--Lakewood, CO; Bear Valley)

Recognizing those involved during the awards ceremony:

Brian Buxton (Albuquerque, NM), Chase Newburn (Spotsylvania, VA),
and Dale Pollard (Bear Valley) admiring the beautiful certificates done and prepared
by Wes Autrey, Mike Hite, and Meda King:

Several of those in our youth group encouraged our campers, including
the two young men who preached during morning worship:

Our two Sunday AM Worship preachers were:
DEVIN BENSON (member at Bear Valley)

JOE WILKIE (member at Bear Valley)

After clean up and pack up, we came back Sunday night for our culminating service.
That PM, the last three preachers spoke to us:

CHASE NEWBURN (Spotsylvania, VA--
He forgot his notes and preached wholly from memory)

LANCE BENSON (Bear Valley--also memorized his entire sermon)

CLARK WOODFIN (Broomfield, CO; member at Northwest)

Our "Servant" award went to ALEX WARNES (Bear Valley) and our "Most Improved" went to ANDREW WARNES (Bear Valley). Let's look forward to next year's FPTC!!
