Shared Lutheran Ministry Day Camp July 26-30
The Shared Lutheran Ministry of Fayette County is offering Day Camp July 26-30 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at St. John Lutheran Church in Rutersville. The camp will be for grades K-5th grade; 6th-high school students will be needed as helpers.
Children can be dropped off as early as 8 a.m. for breakfast. The cost is $50 and includes lunch and all supplies. Children may be signed up for breakfast for an extra $10. SLM or Lutherhill t-shirts will also be available for $10.
The theme is “Be Bold!” The apostle Paul writes, “Since, then, we have such a hope, we act with great boldness.” God invites you to be bold, not because you are inherently courageous or exceedingly qualified, no you can act with boldness because your hope is anchored in Jesus. This summer campers will explore the invitation to be bold in curiosity, connection, fear, and love.
Campers and volunteers needed; contact Laura Brugger at (979) 966-3455 or Kristina Bura at (713) 829-6445. Registration forms will be available at the four SLM churches and on the SLM website. Forms are due by July 18 .
