Lend a Hand to Ranch Camp We are looking for middle school and high school youth to be "Ranch Hands" during the week. They assist with all parts of the program. In addition, the congregation is asked to consider the following ways to contribute:
host a Luther Park staff member, help plan and serve the Thursday 'Round-Up' meal, be the adult on duty, assist in the art room, provide a meal on Monday for the Luther Park staff, help set up and decorate the fellowship hall (Saturday), donate a snack, and help in the kitchen serving the snacks.
Please sign up on the Youth and Family Bulletin Board if you are able to help.
VBS Ranch Camp postcards are available for sharing! Please take as many as you would like and give them to your relatives, friends, neighbors and co-workers. This is low risk, high reward Evangelism!

A note of precaution:
Since the H1N1 pandemic has been officially declared, we are taking a few precautions at worship. At Holy Communion, servers are taking care to clean their hands with sanitizer. But if you have added concerns, it is permissible to receive the wine only (served in individual glasses). For awhile we have set aside the 'Sharing of the Peace' during the liturgy. And, the Pastors will not be offended if you do not shake their hand after worship. A kind nod and greeting is quite acceptable. We pray that this pandemic will not be severe and will pass quickly.
