The third Gospel Festival on the Ridge will be held on August 22nd at the church grove. We could use your help by praying for this event, groups, and that those organizing may be led by the Holy Spirit to minister to those attending. Come out and join us for an afternoon of gospel music! Let your church, community, friends, and clients know that this event is happening by placing a flyer from the back table up where they can see it. Also, you may help by picking up a sponsor sheet and placing an ad in the booklet or passing a sheet on to an area business! Any questions, please see Chad or Lara Berkebile. Thank you! we can't do this without your help.
As the weather continues to change into the warm weather of spring and summer, it is once again time to go camping at In-Tents Lutheran Church Camp! We are proud to offer both an Elementary Camp for those grades 4-6 and a Youth Camp for those grades 7-12. This year our theme is going to be “Children of the Heavenly Father.” Elementary Camp will be from July 20-22 costing $150. Youth Camp will be from July 13-17 costing $250. For our Youth Camp we are very excited to have Heather Ruesch and her husband Pastor Matt Ruesch as our speakers! To help give everyone a feel of camp, we have a few different videos. You can find them on the Mid- Northeast Mission Region website (mnemdnalc.org) under the “In- Tents” tab or on our YouTube Channel. This year we have added in a late registration fee of $50 for anyone signing up after July 4th and a cancellation fee of $50 for anyone canceling not due to illness the week before camp.
