Wish you could enjoy Faith Alive! and the activities of Summer Camp?
Come join us for Summer Faith Alive!
Summer 2010: Saints Alive!
This week we will explore Luther's understanding of our being "saints and sinners", look at saints of the church and world, help youth see those who have been saints in their lives, and explore "saintly" lifestyles. All of this will be in the context of our belief that we are not saints because of what we do, but what God has done for us through Jesus Christ.
June 6-12: Bishop Julian Gordy, Pastor Nancy Christiensen, and others with the Southeastern Synod Staff, ELCA
June 27-July 3: Dr Susan (Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary) and Alex McArver.
