EVENING PROGRAM
Led on Google Meet: Call opens at 7:45 PM; 8:00 - 9:00 PM ET
(Call opens at 4:45 PM; 5:00 - 6:00 PM PT)
The evening program consists of four parts:
Evening Sing, Evening Talk, The 9 O'Clock Prayer, and Afterglow.
First, join together on Google Meet to participate in Evening Sing, led by our song leader.
Next, listen to a live lamplighter talk about what God has done and is doing in their life. Speakers have come to Winni JFO from all parts of the country and the world to share their individual stories of faith, hope and love. JFO speakers are unique as they are "campers first" and their talks are part of the greater camp experience. See below for the schedule of and additional information about this year's speakers, or to watch their recorded talk afterwards.
The camp day traditionally ends with the 9 O'Clock Prayer. JFOers around the world unite in the
9 O'Clock Prayer for peace every evening:
"Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in Heaven.
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me. Amen."
Afterglow will commence immediately following the Evening Sing and Talk. End your camp day with collective time to gather. Bring your own snacks and beverages to enjoy!
