Lutheran Valley Retreat (LVR) - Summer Camp!!
Summer is fast approaching and we are just two weeks away from the registration opening for the two Kansas District Summer Camps at LVR in Colorado. These camps are for high school students who will graduate from high school in 2015 to 2019. This includes the current 8th grade class.
Registration opens March 1, 2016. There are only 55 spots available for the June 12-17 camp and 90 spots available for the July 19-24 camp. These spots are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis, so don't delay!
A deposit of $100 per youth is required to hold a registration spot, which will be applied to the total cost - $50 is non-refundable. ($405 - includes transportation, camp fees, meals at camp, and spiritual life programming. Travel day's meals are not included.) If a deposit is NOT made, youth will be removed from the online registration system.
Registration is done online by the church youth leader only. Youth leaders will be able to access the online registration through the District Summer Camp Website, beginning March 1st.

Valentine's Day Card Shower for Children's Mercy
It's that time to make homemade Valentine's Cards for the kids at Children's Mercy Hospital. Each card must be kid-friendly, non-religious, and only be Valentine's themed not get well soon. The cards will be distributed at the Downtown Children's Mercy Hospital on Valentine's Day. Please help our YOUth group collect as many as possible and help make a child's day! Let's help them feel special! Look in the Narthex for the Valentine Box to place your finished creations and the deadline for collecting the valentines.
Dear Youth,
It's time to make more casseroles! Each participating youth is to make a casserole (oven-ready) and bring it back Sunday, Feb. 7. We will be selling them between services and after 2nd service. Please provide the name of your casserole and directions for cooking your casserole (i.e. - oven temperature and time for cooking). Also provide a thank you for the purchase! We will sell each casserole for $15. The more casseroles we have = the more money we can add towards New Orleans.
Thank you for your help!
Gerry & Michelle
