PROJECT SANCTUARY

Project Sanctuary - That We May Never Forget Them
Whenever a service member is deployed, an entire family sacrifices.
But there is a place where husbands, wives and children once separated by war can learn to be a family again and it's called Project Sanctuary. It looks like a carefree hike through the Colorado wilderness, but it is really about military families struggling with years of deployments.
Project Sanctuary provides therapeutic retreats enabling military families to reconnect and reintegrate into their communities through education, innovative services and supportive follow through.
CBS News has written a report that explains more about this dynamic program. Read more.

 Kaitlin Winter-Eulberg Receives 1st Ever
Hayes Memorial Scholarship
The Hayes Memorial Scholarship was established by Bethlehem Lutheran Church of Los Alamos, New Mexico to reward a deserving new ELCA seminarian from the Rocky Mountain Synod. The first recipient of a Hayes Scholarship is Kaitlin Winter-Eulberg who will begin seminary studies this summer at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in Berkeley, CA. Kaitlin is a "double PK;" both her parents are Lutheran pastors (read her biography for more details).
 Funding for the Hayes Memorial Scholarship is from a generous bequest made in 2009 to Bethlehem from the Hayes family estate. In 2010 the Bethlehem congregation designated one quarter of the Hayes bequest for investment by the church's endowment committee.
In 2012 members of the congregation pledged start up funds for the Hayes seminarian scholarship, the result of which was the selection of Kaitlin who was chosen from a number of qualified applicants provided to Bethlehem by the RMS.
