2024 THEME

Ephesians 5:8 says “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light”. There was a time when people didn't know or understand what's right and good, kind of like being in the dark. But when they follow the teachings of God and live according to those principles, they are like people who have found the light. As Christ followers, we are called to act in a way that reflects the light of Jesus. It's about radiating all that is good and right and true.

Power Connection is an intentional weekend for middle schoolers currently in grades 6-8 and their adult leaders.

    HOST + AFTER HOURS

    After serving as the Main Speaker for Work Camp, JMH is back as the PC Host and will be doing some After Hours illusionsist-action!

    John Michael’s unique style of close-up magic for the stage uses everyday objects to accomplish impossible feats. Using a live video feed, every audience member is transported onto the stage just inches away from the mystery.

    Driven by a passion to encourage people to embrace joy and find purpose, he uses the power of illusion, storytelling and humor in a mix that you won’t soon forget.
