Louis had a great time at the Pack and Paddle program and has now returned home. He'll be sharing about his camp experience at worship. We are grateful for the ELCA's outdoor ministries and how much they enrich the faith of our young people.

WE'VE GOT CAMP FEVER!

Our Savior's Lutheran has awarded 5 camp scholarships for outstanding Sunday school attendance this year. The scholarship recipients are: Mason Libke, Alanna Pleasants, Emilio Rathbun, Jazmine Rathbun and Louis Nguyen.

Jazmine and Emilo attended Sugar Creek Bible Camp in Ferryville, Wisconsin in June. Mason and Alanna also went to Sugar Creek. They attended in July.
