Serving the Anglican Church in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island The Super Amazing Bible Camp of Awesomeness

The Super Amazing Bible Camp of Awesomeness (SABCA) was an initiative of Revs. Ed Trevors & Nita Barteaux and supported by the South Shore Regional Council. They dreamed of having a youth event for children who did not meet the age criteria for DYC. For youth aged 6-12, the day began with 35-40 youth and a dozen youth leaders meeting at Holy Trinity, Bridgewater. The Camp was a reason for young Anglicans to get together, to have fun and to be exposed to Christian education. The drama component incorporated scripture and was applied to worship time at the end of the day. The games, crafts, face painting, drama, worship, meal fellowship and a scavenger hunt all fell under the theme of ‘Getting to Know You”. Getting to know one another, getting to know God, getting to know their church.

Diocesan Synod Friday, May 31 The 144th Session of Synod of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island closed with Bishop Sue Moxley celebrating the Eucharist. The day began at 9am with worship on a theme of “Seeking Refreshment (Thanks to the Synod Office staff for the summary.) – Remembering the Gift of Water”. A memorable comment during worship was, “how often do we miss the presence of God standing right in front of us?” Following the morning worship it was announced that Rose McFadden and Tyler Nieforth had been elected as Youth Members of Diocesan Council. A presentation by guest speaker Ryan Sim on church planting was very well received. Rev. Sim said that as Christians we have much to share with others, especially hope and Jesus Christ. He also said that at times we must work around the fact that people will not attend church on Sunday for a variety of reasons. We must meet them in a mutual location. Synod warmly welcomed the Primate, Archbishop Fred Hiltz who led the meditation. In his reflection Archbishop Fred stated that he often tells people he meets that he ‘lives in Toronto’ but is ‘from’ Nova Scotia and that he looks forward to returning there to live someday. A number of resolutions were passed after short debate. However, one resolution of permitting raffles as a revenue source generated long debates and was eventually defeated in a vote by Orders. One resolution was withdrawn. Bishop Sue presented long service certificates to a number of clergy who Just a few of have been ordained between 25-60 years.
