In scientific terms, DNA is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms.  It is a set of instructions that holds basic information that defines what that organism is going to look like, how it is going to function, and how it is going to survive in its environment. It is uniquely created for each individual, and by itself is a manifestation of God’s divine intelligence and great love, in that He was able to design and craft each one according to His guided purpose for each one us.

For our camp, we take this DNA sequence as a metaphor for the unique set of instructions or principles that define us as Christians.  This fiber of morality that is already within us is seen as the thing that makes us special, each of us in our own way.  It implies the seed of faith that is present in everyone, the precursor of growth, the beginning of good things.

(Seeds are planted on the ground and grow to be great and mighty trees that spawn more trees in turn (a forest even), and that is how we want our Church to be — a living thing, a growing organism, thriving in the ground in which we are planted, flourishing under God care, nourished by His grace and blessings.  We are watered by His Word, and we bask in the glow of His love.)

This special, holy singularity in everyone in turn dictates our church’s overall identity.  Many are coming as one to form a bonded, interconnected network of souls who are strong in faith and character.  It refers to the group as a family, complementing each other in skills and character, and integral to one another’s Christian walk.

As a retreat, the camp is a restoration in spirit for each member, a reconciliation of our relationship with God, and a rejuvenation of faith of the entire church.  It is a break from the daily grind, a momentary breath of fresh air, a refreshing moment in our busy lives when we have a chance to just commune with God in peace and love, together with the rest of our family community.
