January 5th will be Camping Sunday. We will distribute Lutheran Outdoors Bible camping information. You'll see what camps are available, hear the stories of "old campers," and look at what dates we would work together to provide transportation.
The church will help again with camperships, and all who go can work together to raise additional money. Registration, name, $50, etc., will be due on February 2 to Rhonda Karst.
Lutheran Outdoors has a quality, safe, Christ-centered, fun camping program for 3rd Graders and older, even for adults and families. Check it out!

The 2002 SD Synod Assembly resolved to encourage each congregation to celebrate a "mission of the month" in 8 months of each year. The purpose is to build mission awareness and to give our people an opportunity to support a mission of the church. The 2003 Mission schedule is:
January - Luther Seminary, St. Paul, MN
February - Heartland Ephphatha (a ministry for the deaf located in Sioux Falls)
March - Mission Congregation Start-up (the next one may be in Rapid City)
April - LYO (Lutheran Youth Organization - the synodwide youth organization)
May - Companion Synod Programs (ministry with our sister churches in Cameroon and Nicaraugua)
September - Lutheran Campus Ministry
October - Native American Ministry
November - ELCA World Hunger Appeal
We will share information about the mission at the beginning of each month, pray for it in worship, and give you opportunity to support it with a special offering.
