SUMMARY:Memorial Day Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Kick-off our 2024 Summer Conference Season here at America’s Keswick!\nMemorial Day Weekend \nFriday – Monday\, May 24th – 27th\, 2024\n  \nOur theme is “Embraced: Renewed in God’s Delight” focusing on Zephaniah 3:17 (NLT)\, “For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love\, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”\n  \nJoin 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. \n  \n \nSpeaker: Dr. Ron Cline \nDr. Ronald A. Cline has served as a pastor\, educator\, counselor\, leader\, missionary\, and author\, which gives him credibility\, experience\, and rapport with the many individuals and groups he and his wife\, Barb\, minister to in various countries each year. \nRon and Barb currently serve as Global Ambassadors with Reach Beyond and live in Southern California after living over 30 years abroad. Ron also helps his son train leaders in his son’s organization\, Leader Mundial\, the training wing of Extreme Response. Ron and Barb now travel from Southern California throughout the world. For the last ten years\, they have been encouraging and working with leaders in Indonesia\, Cambodia\, China\, Singapore\, Malaysia\, Nepal\, Mongolia\, India\, Philippines\, Thailand\, Hong Kong\, Solomon Islands\, Western Samoa\, Papa New Guinea\, Tonga\, Fiji\, America Samoa\, Australia\, New Zealand\, Central Asia\, USA\, Canada\, Mexico\, Cuba\, Haiti\, Ecuador\, Russia\, Malawi\, Ivory Coast\, and South Africa. \n  \n  \n \nMusic & Worship by: Jeff & Sue Duffield\nIf you know little about the Duffields\, aside from the fact that they have new life doing contemporary hymns and even the “Oldies”\, you’ve missed out on the exceptional and creative artists they have always been. \nSue 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 well-known artists and ministries. The choice to perform a more jazz\, soulful influenced repertoire while mainstream gospel went a more conservative direction\, proved to be their signature strength. Their music is rich with many layers. 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. \n  \n  \nSpecial Features:\n\nMission updates with JAARS\nPatriotic Memorial Day Service\nBarbecue\nPiercing Word production\n\n  \n  \nSpecial Presentation by…  \nPiercing Word – “The One Story” \nSaturday\, May 25th\, 2024 \nExperience the ultimate story of God’s plan for redemption.  Framed around Jesus’ conversation on the Emmaus Road\, this piece is compiled of passages from Genesis to Revelation and shows how all of Scripture points to the person and work of Christ.  The One Story incorporates original orchestrations and other artistic elements to bring beautiful clarity to the Scriptures. \n  \n  \n \nMissionaries with JAARS (Jungle Aviation and Radio Services) will be at America’s Keswick over Memorial Day Weekend to raise awareness of\, and support for\, Bible translation around the world. JAARS provides construction\, technology\, and transportation services for Wycliffe Bible Translators. \n  \n  \nWhat to expect this summer at America’s Keswick:\n\nMorning and evening sessions with our speakers\nWe will be having Children’s and Teen’s Ministry\nActivities for all ages! Such as guided nature walks\, scavenger hunts\, a large inflatable slide in the lake\, devotions\, and more!\nDelicious meals prepared on campus served in our dining room\n\n  \nChildren’s & Teen’s Ministry:\nIt’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. \nOn 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. \nOur 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. \n  \nMeals:\nEach 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.

He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love\, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”\n  \nSpeakers: Dr. Jamie Mitchell & Dr. Ray Pritchard \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Jamie Mitchell graduated in 1984 from Philadelphia Biblical University (now Cairn University) with a Bachelor of Science in Bible and Christian Education.

He has experience giving oversight to the discipling\, evangelism\, worship\, small groups\, and youth ministries at different times. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Ray Pritchard has been married to Marlene for 40+ years and serves as president of Keep Believing 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.

SUMMARY:Family Week #5
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our 2024 Summer Conference Season here at America’s Keswick!\nFamily Week #5 August 4 – 9\, 2024\nOur theme is “Embraced: Renewed in God’s Delight” focusing on Zephaniah 3:17 (NLT)\, “For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love\, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”\n  \nSpeakers: Pastor Chris Durkin & Pastor Lloyd Pulley \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nPastor Chris Durkin has served at Colts Neck Community Church for over 13 years. His passion is to teach the Bible\, proclaim the Gospel and encourage Christians in their faith. Pastor Chris grew up in New Jersey\, went to college in Philadelphia\, and graduated from seminary in Colorado. He has two ministry degrees: BA in Youth Ministry from Eastern University and a Master of Divinity degree from Denver Seminary. He has over twenty-five years of ministry experience. He is married to his best friend Melissa and they have five wonderful children. \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLloyd Pulley has served as Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Old Bridge (CCOB) in central New Jersey for over 35 years. While a wrestler for the Spartans in 1976\, Pastor Lloyd received the Lord in his first term on full scholarship at Michigan State University for Chemical Engineering. He received a call to ministry as his second year was ending\, leading him to travel to Southern California to participate in a summer project for CRU (previously Campus Crusade). He then joined the ministry at Calvary Chapel West Covina\, now Calvary Chapel Golden Springs. In 1979\, Lloyd was brought on as a pastoral intern there and continued his ministry training on the job until 1984. \n\nWhile interning at Calvary Chapel Golden Springs\, Lloyd met and married his wife Karen. Making their way from California to New Jersey in 1984\, the humble beginnings of home-based Bible studies and fellowship soon saw unprecedented growth and development of the people who call CCOB their home church. \nPastor Lloyd is also the author of several books: Under His Influence: Yielding to the Work of the Holy Spirit\, Everyday Conversations: Eternal Impact\, and the Be Still 30 Day Devotional released through Bridging the Gap with Pastor Lloyd. \nPastor Lloyd can be heard daily on the Bridging the Gap with Pastor Lloyd radio program\, and weekdays on Bridge Bible Talk\, The Bridge Christian Radio’s first-ever live call-in program answering questions on the Bible and Christian living. \n  \nMusic & Worship by: Jeff & Sue Duffield\n\n\n\n\nAside 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.\n \n  \n\n\n\n\n  \n  \nWhat to expect this summer at America’s Keswick:\n\n\n\nMorning and evening sessions with our speakers\nWe will be having Children’s and Teen’s Ministry\nActivities for all ages! Such as guided nature walks\, scavenger hunts\, a large inflatable slide in the lake\, devotions\, and more!\nDelicious meals prepared on campus served in our dining room\n\n  \nChildren’s & Teen’s Ministry:\nIt’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. \nOn 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. \nOur 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. \n  \nMeals:\nEach meal starts with a staff member’s blessing in the food.

SUMMARY:Jordan St. Cyr Concert
DESCRIPTION:The heartbeat of America’s Keswick has pulsed with one life-changing purpose: teaching men and women they can be set free from the bondage of addiction through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Join us for an unforgettable night of music on September 25th at America’s Keswick featuring JORDAN ST.

St. Cyr dropped his first full-length self-titled album in the spring of 2022 with Seattle-based label\, BEC Recordings. The project features the chart-climbing radio hits “Fires” and “Weary Traveler.” And it was “Fires” that quickly put St. Cyr on the map\, hitting the airwaves on major networks and stations for nearly 18 months straight and reaching millions weekly and going top 5. “Weary Traveler” followed\, which also became his first No. 1 hit single\, taking the top spot on all radio charts.\n\n2022 continued to be an astounding year for St. Cyr. He became a two-time GMA Dove Awards nominee\, being recognized for Best New Artist and for Short-Form Video Of The Year (“Weary Traveler”)\, followed by sweeping the GMA Canada Covenant Awards with six wins\, the most out of any other nominees and adding to his already five Covenant Award wins. He was recognized as Artist of the Year\, Album and Male Vocalist of the Year along with Best Pop Song\, Live Music Artist\, and AC Artist of the Year.\n  \nWorship by: The Recovery Grad Band\nThe Recovery Grad Band is the praise and worship band from America’s Keswick\, composed entirely of graduates from its addiction recovery programs. With a legacy spanning over 127 years\, America’s Keswick has been a beacon of hope\, teaching that Jesus Christ is the ultimate answer to addiction. Each member of the band has experienced a profound transformation through the gospel of Jesus Christ\, and their lives stand as testaments to His redeeming power. Their passion for Jesus shines through in their music\, as they lead the body of Christ in heartfelt and inspiring worship.\n  \nConcert starts at 7 PM | Doors open at 6:30 PM \n  \nTICKETS: $25.00\nAll proceeds directly support our life-changing addiction recovery programs\, where over 23\,000 individuals have found lasting victory through Jesus Christ.  \nOvernight Packages are available (Tickets are not included in this price.): $65 per room for up to 2 guests… each additional guest pays $10 per person (max of 4 adults in each room) – St. Memorial Lodge.
