We offer an invitation...

You are invited to share in a week of fellowship, in the spirit of Jesus Christ, at reunion.  Come and worship with us, and allow this reunion week to bring into your life a greater and deeper understanding of how God's Spirit brings joy into your life.

We believe each of you have God-given gifts, and YOU are called to share them with others in the spirit of Jesus' life and ministry.  We invite you to join in the fellowship of one of our reunions.  Come and worship with us, learn with us, serve with us, have fun with us, and grow with us as we strive to follow the example of Jesus Christ.

Our relationship with Christ is enriched as we share in a reunion experience.  It is more than a mere gathering of people.  It is an opportunity to live together as a Christian family for a week, bringing support and giving our love so everyone feels valued and appreciated.  We invite you to:

Come and See...

We invite you to attend ANY of the 2011 Brush Creek Reunions.  This will be an excellent opportunity for a time of renewal, celebration, worship, play, fun and learning.

Plan to reserve a week this summer to gather with the Saints for a week of Zionic living -- a community of Joy, Hope, Love and Peace, as we learn, worship, fellowship, fish, play games and serve each other in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Registration:

Every person and family is required to register.

Registration takes place ONLY by using the registration form.  Here re links to the Registration documents. 
Please PRINT, complete both sides, and mail your registration form & fees to the registrar for your Reunion.

         Registration Form    

If you're bringing children other than your own to camp, be sure to complete a page 2 for each child and/or family of children, and SIGNED by their parent/guardian.

No phone registrations will be accepted.  Please complete ALL information requested on the form.  If you have a question, write it in the Comments section and the Registrar will contact you by phone or email to answer you.

Knowing the number of attendees and ages will help Reunion staff when allocating housing, preparing food and purchasing materials for classes.

Once the form is printed and completed, mail it along with your registration fees (see below!).  Please make your registration check payable to Community of Christ. 

If you plan to attend both reunions, please complete and submit two registration forms.

Reunion Costs:

All Brush Creek reunions for 2012 will be financially supported through generous giving. 

• Attendees will pay a registration fee of $25 per person, mailed in with the registration form.
  • Note: Those who pay their registration fees early (postmarked on or before the 1st day of the Reunion month), can claim an "early registration" discount of $10 OFF per person! 
• Persons staying in air conditioned units or in personal trailers/RVs will pay a utility surcharge of $35 per unit (lodge, cabin, motel, RV, trailer), payable when you check in at camp.

Our Reunions are supported through “GENEROUS GIVING”. We anticipate funds will come from the generosity of the people as we respond to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Throughout the week, everyone will have the opportunity to contribute as generous disciples out of the bounty the Lord has provided. In this way, some families and individuals will be able to come and enjoy the rich fellowship experiences because of the generosity of others who can afford and are willing to give more than their share. Come prepared to give generously through the offerings collected at each evening service, so that all may be blessed by this experience.    Pledge card will also be available if needed.

Several have inquired as to what is the cost per person attending a reunion. Meals, lodging, and other expenses would bring the cost to around  $225/per person.

We look forward to coming together in Zionic community with you this summer.  We anticipate a wonderful outpouring of God's Spirit.
