Taizé Worship Services: A summer Taizé worship service will take place at St. James Lutheran Church, 170 McMillan, Grosse Pointe Farms, on Wednesday, August 6, at 7 pm.  You are welcome to attend!  The beauty of Taizé worship is that it uses a form of short musical phrases with sing able, easily-memorized melodies.  The community of Taizé in France has worked for unity among Christians in all denominations.  The service will include Holy Communion for those who wish to partake.

The month of June brings many outdoor activities and celebrations!  Our partnership with LSSM this month will be to focus on the camp ministries and help children in foster care, refugee children and homeless children in LSSM programs participate in a week of enjoying the outdoors at Camp Michi-Lu-Ca.  Last year our church helped equip 33 campers!!

How we can help:
- Pray for foster children that attend camp to have a positive and  loving experience with their siblings (who often live apart and have limited contact)
- Pray for the camp staff and the children in their care this summer (including Sam Archinal, who is a counselor this summer)
- As your children outgrow clothing and tennis shoes that 3rd grade through 8th grade children could wear to camp, wash and bag with sizes noted
- Donate items from the list below to the foyer where the camping tent is located
    - Sunscreen/bug repellant
    - Sleeping bags
    - Flashlights
    - Backpacks, duffels, sling bags
  - hygiene products; shampoo, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, lotion, deodorant
    - towels (beach and bath)
    - water shoes or tennis shoes
    - swim gear; trunks, suits, cap   
    - socks and underwear
    - travel toiletries bags
    - combs, brushes, hair ties
    - rain ponchos

Lutheran Social Services of Michigan has partnered with Living Water Ministries for the last three years to offer a special overnight camp experience at Camp Michi-Lu-Ca for children ages 8 and older who are:
*    In foster care (40 kids)
*    Living at the Wayne County Family Center (20)
*    A child in a refugee family (20 kids)

This week of camp provides a safe environment to explore faith, love and grace in a beautiful outdoor setting, while giving us an opportunity to help these children gain a sense of community in Christ. Thanks to help from other donors like you, more than 120 children served by LSSM have already benefitted from this week-long camp experience. In 2014, we desire that 80 more children have the same experience!

You can sponsor one or more of these children for a week of camp with a donation of $550. Your gift of $550 will send one child to camp Michi-Lu-Ca for one week ($400) with a sleeping bag, a pillow and duffle bag ($100), toiletries and a swimsuit ($50). This gift will cover the cost of registration, a camp t-shirt, a daily snack at the camp store, canoe trip expenses, and travel expenses to and from camp.

Make a difference in the life of a child or homeless family today! Send your tax-deductible donation to Lutheran Social Services of Michigan, ATTN: Sonia Bankston, 8131 E. Jefferson Ave., Detroit, MI 48214 or click here to make a secure donation online.
