Family Camp 2026 is coming!

Riverside Henley Chapel families are invited to come away for a fantastic weekend of fellowship, fun, laughter, and time together in one of the most beautiful spots in the country.

Join us at Lakeland Park Christian Camp, 496 Peninsula Road, Kelvin Heights, Kelvin Peninsula, from 7:30pm, Friday 6 February to 1:30pm, Sunday 8 February.

Please plan to arrive on Friday night having already eaten dinner, and we’ll wrap up Sunday afternoon after lunch.

If you’d like to arrive earlier on Friday, feel free to take the day to explore stunning Queenstown — whether that’s seeking a bit of adrenaline on the luge, strolling the lakefront, or enjoying an ice cream and coffee by the water. There really is something for everyone in Queenstown.

The weekend is free to attend, but if you’d like to contribute towards costs there will be a donation box available at camp.

Come along, bring the family, and enjoy a relaxed, joy-filled weekend connecting with God and each other — we’d love to see you there!

Psalm 25:3 NIV
No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame,

It is New Year’s Eve, and we look forward in hope to a new year filled with potential, but we also know there is uncertainty. A review of 2024 reminds us of the changes a year can bring—some good, some very painful. What will happen in 2025?

We look forward to the beginning of 2025 by asking “What is the source of our hope?” And through Scripture we have seen God in Jesus meeting our deepest needs. Now on this New Year’s Eve we look once again to Jesus—the Savior who has come and who now reigns in heaven until the day he will come again.

Words can only begin to describe the power and glory of the ascended Savior. He is the Lord of life. John describes Jesus as standing in long flowing robes. Long robes were worn by royalty, or at times of celebration. They were a sign of victory, security, and work completed. A person fleeing danger or a worker could not be encumbered with a long robe. But Christ stands in flowing robes.

There is no threat to his kingdom; his redemptive work is fully accomplished. Children of this victorious King have eternal security. As we enter the New Year, may we all declare, “My only comfort in life and in death is that I belong to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ!”

In a world of uncertainty, we thank you the Lord, for the comfort, hope, and peace we have because we belong to Him.

Happy New Year from the Fellowship at Riverside Chapel Henley
