Doug's blog
Last night our cat was killed on the busy road in front of our house. My wife and I broke the news to our two children around the kitchen table this morning. It was their first real experience with death. A misty rain fell as we solemnly gathered...Read more of Executive Director Doug Wysockey-Johnson's full blog on "Life and Death in the Back Yard"

Call:
"The pilgrim sets forth, tethered to the past by unseen bonds of memory, yet cloaked in hope, afoot in sandals of determination, trudging toward something new."
~Denise Levertov, A Door in the Hive
Would you like to be cloaked in hope? Join two dozen others
July 18-28 in the highlands of Guatemala to
build a school for the children of Chimaltenango and explore the surrounding area. This Guatemala pilgrimage is designed
to challenge our comforts and expand our souls... come toward something new!
View a 3 minute video interview on our Pilgrimage. You can also be a Pilgrim from your armchair, by joining us in prayer.
Call Questions:
What are you tethered to this season?
Are you trudging toward something new? Or are you running, crawling, skipping?

6/13 Light For Your Journey Hanover NH
A half-day retreat to explore God's call in our lives. What is call? Call is for all people, and it is about more than career. It is about what we say yes to and what we say no to on a weekly basis. It is about where we give our time and energy, including work, relationships, and volunteer efforts. In one sense, it is all about us - who we are, what we care about, what our gifts are. But it is also about the world and God's vision for it. Lumunos believes that the more people seek to listen for God's call, the better the world becomes. Listening for call is simply about seeking to hear and respond to God's presence in the fullness and complexity of our lives. It is simply that, but it is not simple.
9am-1pm at Our Savior Lutheran Church
