Memorial Day Weekend

Kick-off our 2025 Summer Conference Season here at America’s Keswick!

Theme verse:

“I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing” ~ John 15:5 (ESV)

Join us this weekend in remembering the men and women who sacrificed their lives and gave everything so we can have the freedoms we take for granted every day.

Speaker: Dr. Dave Edwards 

Dr. Dave Edwards is an author of 13 books and, for more than a decade, has been sharing his unique brand of ministry. He speaks over 500 times each year to over 250,000 people. Dave’s goal is to help people discover the importance of a Christ-centered lifestyle and bring them one step closer in the process of knowing and becoming like Jesus Christ.

Music & Worship by: Jeff & Sue Duffield

Aside from the fact that they have new life doing contemporary hymns and even the “Oldies”, they have always been exceptional and creative artists. Since the early 70s, while Jeff and Sue had major media venues of opportunity and exposure (PTL Club, 700 Club, 100 Hundred Huntley Street – Canada) they never strived for commercial success. Sue not only has an incredible vocal ability, she also writes much of the material they perform.Jeff is a sought-after keyboardist, playing, producing, and arranging for artists/ministries such as: Jimmy Fortune (of the Statler Brothers), Doug Oldham, the Original Couriers, Ben “Cooter” Jones of the Dukes of Hazzard, Sammy Hall, Dave Boyer, Canton Junction, and John Hagee Ministries. The choice to perform a more jazz, soulful-influenced repertoire instead of mainstream gospel, a more conservative direction, proved to be their signature strength. The Duffields were performing this worship flavor a decade or more before it became popular.Their music is rich with many layers. They are truly musicians’ musicians, but most will say Jeff and Sue’s hearts are even bigger than their music. In their later years, it’s become quite evident that their real joy is helping other artists and ministries. Their love for Jesus shines in everything they do.

Special Features:

• Mission updates with JAARS
• Patriotic Memorial Day Service
• Barbecue

JAARS (Jungle Aviation and Relay Service) uses aircraft, boats, and off-road vehicles to relay the Word of God, the missionaries who translate it, the people they minister to, and the supplies they need across geographical barriers. A team from JAARS will be at America’s Keswick over Memorial Day weekend to chat and share about their mission and how you can help cover the last mile of missions. Helicopter rides will also be available.

What to expect this summer at America’s Keswick:

• Morning and evening sessions with our speakers
• We will be having Children’s and Teen’s Ministry
• Activities for all ages! Such as guided nature walks, scavenger hunts, a large inflatable slide in the lake, devotions, and more!
• Delicious meals prepared on campus served in our dining room

Children’s & Teen’s Ministry:

It’s not Sunday School… It’s not VBS… It’s Children’s Ministry – America’s Keswick style! One of our passions is to teach children from a young age who Jesus is, why it is important to follow Him, and how to apply biblical principles to their lives. We take the time to hand-pick fun and responsible leaders who are passionate about teaching YOUR kids. We get to know your children personally so we can teach them at a level that they can understand, and we also have a whole lot of fun along the way.

On top of our biblical lessons, we have high-energy games, creative crafts, delicious snacks, funny skits, and everything in between – all designed to follow and reinforce the lesson for the day. We also spend time preparing for our end-of-week presentation, where you can hear your kids share a passage of Scripture that they’ve memorized and a song that they’ve learned while in Children’s Ministry… but be sure to get there early, because before the meeting we also have a special bell-ringing ceremony where we celebrate the children who have come to Christ that week.

Our Children’s Ministry curriculum welcomes infants through age 11, and ages 12-17 can enjoy our Teen Ministry program. We’re going to have a lot of fun this summer, and we hope you can join us.

Meals:

Each meal starts with a staff member’s blessing in the food. When you enter the doors to the dining hall, located in the Raws Building, you will be greeted by the buffet line. Guests are able to grab a plate and choose from the variety of options that are available during the course. Most times there are 1-2 main entrée options with 2-3 sides dishes. During breakfast, there is a cold bar that is fully stocked with assorted cereals, milk, yogurt, and freshly cut fruit. During lunches and dinners, we have a freshly prepared salad bar where guests can create their salad exactly to their choosing. Once guests find their seat at a table,  our friendly servers will bring you beverages and help clear away your plates. You will also see our dining room hostess who is available to you at any time should you need any assistance. If you have a dietary restrictions or allergies, please inform your server and they would be happy to help.
