Kentucky-Tennessee Conference Highland Academy Portland, Tennessee May 26-June 3, 2017 WELCOME!

Steve Haley Steve Rose Douglas Hilliard President Executive Secretary Treasurer ike many games from years ago, I don’t think children play it now as much Las they did when I was growing up. In an era when there was no internet, no video games, and television broadcast a total of four channels, urban kids like those in my neighborhood had to be creative in order to have fun. Most of the time, our fun took the form of being outside playing games. It seems that there were a lot of positives to spending afternoon hours playing basketball, football, and coasting on homemade skateboards. Yet it was after nightfall that we sometimes played my favorite game: “hide and go seek.” If you’ve ever played it, you remember the simple rules. One person looks while all the other’s hide and when opportunity provides, those who are hiding race to the home base before being tagged. It was exciting for me to hide and try to avoid capture. I never minded the minutes lying still behind a row of hedges or standing motionless behind a tree waiting for the moment to race home, and in my neighborhoods version of the game, shout “free” meaning you had won the round. For King David, hiding was not a game; it was a spiritual necessity. In the Psalms David often expressed the desire to hide, not from, but in God. Here are a few of his thoughts and appeals for God to hide him: “You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble . . .” Psalm 119:114 “You are my hiding place and my shield; I wait for Your word.” Psalm 17:8 “Hide me in the shadow of Your wings” Psalm 27:5 “Rescue me from my enemies, Lord, for I hide myself in you.” Psalm 143:9 Do you sense the common theme of David’s prayer to God to be hidden? In Him, there is protection. In Him there is peace. In the often desperate and dangerous world that David lived in, like our own, it is no wonder he often cried to God to hide him and rejoiced in that in the midst of trouble, the Lord was a place of strength and protection. Praise God, He still is! Like the Shepherd King, we too can rejoice to be hidden in Him; but there’s more to the biblical theme of hiding than the blessings of protection. Perhaps the most remarkable passage of hiding in God is not found in the Old Testament, but in the letter Paul wrote to the Colossians. In the teaching of the Apostle, hidden in Christ is more than protection; it is a metaphorical image 2 CONTENTS Adult Program Schedule...... 12-13 Afternoon Seminars (Daily)...... 14-16 Camp Meeting Personnel...... 23 Children...... 18 Earliteen...... 19 Evangelism...... 11 Food Services...... 24 General Information...... 22 Highland Academy...... 5 Madison Academy...... 5 Map...... 24 Prayer Room...... 21 Speakers & Presenters...... 6-9 Special Events...... 16 Trust Services...... 20 Young Adults...... 21 Youth...... 20 for spiritual renewal. In Colossians 3:1-4 we read, “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ, in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.” Notice how Paul states his observation. Not in words of “if” or “maybe.” He doesn’t offer this experience as an unlikely possibility of a hoped-for dream. Instead he declares it as a great reality- a stated truth - for the follower of Christ. In referring to the death and resurrection symbolism associated with baptism, Paul tells us that we ARE dead to the old life, and raised with Christ to the new. Because of that fact, our lives are lifted heavenward. No longer living for planet earth, we now live for heaven. Notice the past-tense declaration of our re-birth, and its present tense results: we HAVE been raised with Christ, and therefore we ARE hidden with Christ in God. That’s good news! But it gets even better! The words that conclude Paul’s thoughts in verse 4 are also stated as an absolute promise. We who are hidden in Jesus, can be assured, that “when He appears, we will also appear with Him in glory!” What an amazing gift for those who are hidden in Him! In the childhood game of hide and seek, the best moment came when I would race home and shout “I’m free.” Paul’s words remind me, that very soon, we will shout and sing those words together with the redeemed of all the ages, safely home with Christ, forever free at last.

PRAYER ROOM Prayer Matters! Now more than ever with so much happen- ing in the news and our lives, we need to be at the feet of Jesus in prayer. It is our only source of power to give strength and comfort for hurting hearts. During Camp Meeting, if you need a place for quiet time, prayer, and reflection with God, we have provided a special prayer room to bring your requests before our heavenly Father. It is available every day and evening, in the girls dorm directly across from the dean’s office! Watch for details in our Camp Meeting News- letter.

“Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.” Jeremiah 29:12

21 GENERAL INFORMATION CAMP MEETING ATTIRE: Although the setting of Camp Meeting is more relaxed and informal, we encourage attire that is both appropriate to the occasion and representative of Christian principles of modesty and good taste.

ATTENTION PARENTS: Supervision of your children during Camp Meeting is essential. Children are expected to participate in the meetings and activities that are planned for them. When not participating in those activities, you are responsible for their whereabouts and conduct. Beginner through Primary divisions will have supervision for drop off 15 minutes prior to meetings.

FIRST AID: The First Aid Station is primarily for the assessment of injuries that may require medical care or emergency room treatment. Families should be prepared to handle their own minor issues (cuts, scrapes, bumps, splinters, etc.); and should come prepared with their own prescription medications, allergy medicine, pain relievers such as aspirin or acetaminophen, and band- aids.

AUDITORIUM SEATING: Lawn chairs will be permitted on side and rear sections only. Seat cushions may be used anywhere in the auditorium, but must be removed at the close of each meeting. Lawn chairs in the main auditorium not occupied at the time services begin will be considered open seating and will be available to anyone.
