In 2010, everyone will learn how to live like Jesus and become a hero through the use of the New Earth Bible Curriculum.
The Be a Hero Living Like Jesus curriculum focuses on a different topic every day that includes a theme verse and a story involving recent acts of heroism that relate to the scripture. Themes include welcoming others (John 6:1-15), being a friend (1 Samuel 20:1-42), accepting others (Acts 10: 24-35, 44-48), giving (Luke 21:1-4), rejoicing (Exodus 15:19-21), and sharing the Good News (2 Timothy 1:3-7).
Some contemporary stories relating to these lessons include the youth group that started the Souper Bowl for the hungry, a child who rescued two classmates during the 2008 Chinese earthquake, and the individual who started Pennies for Pills that raises money for Africans with AIDS to pay for their needed medications.
This curriculum provides lessons and activities that will reach all of the campers, no matter their style of learning. Gretna Glen staff is trained to teach scripture by using stories, crafts, games, lecture, discussions, songs, writing, and prayer.
