The lights have been installed in the Anniversary Garden! Thank you to all who donated to this project and a special thank-you to the 6th grade class of 2014 for their donation. Drive by after dark and check it out. Not only is it beautiful, but it also serves as a security measure.

Wow! Over 80 youth and adults felt the power of God in our climb of Everest! We learned through rotations to Bible Expeditions, Crafts, Games, Snack, and Imagination Station God's mighty power. His power to provide, heal, forgive, and love us forever. What wonderful messages to help us navigate our lives. Special thanks go to April Voightman, Caryl Benner, and her team of leaders and youth guides for organizing this 5 day trek up the mountain. Our offering collected $197 during the week and will be matched by the Foundation for a total of $394. This collection will go to Lutheran World Relief to help those in Nepal trying to rebuild their homes and lives after the earthquake.

Hello Shepherd of the Valley,
We are getting excited for Day Camp! The camp is held on Monday, July 20 - Friday, July 24. We have some fun crafts planned and are looking for help gathering supplies for one of them. On Monday of Day Camp we will be making Lava Lamps in bottles, so we need clear bottles--these can be gatorade, powerade, suja or juice bottles as well as sturdy water bottles, etc. We need bottles that don't have permanent labels and that are easy to see into. Blue colored bottles or the thin Arrowhead bottles with ridges will not work. You may drop off bottles in the narthex or the church office.
Thanks for your help!
