DON’T FORGET TO REGISTER FOR CHURCH CAMP Financially there is GREAT news! Camp Luther has a new tiered payment plan in which you get to choose which of three prices works best for your family financially. They also have a NO child turned away policy, early bird discount, second child in family discount, financial aid, and OSL has camperships to make sure financially your child can experience church camp. Try camp. Your child will LOVE it!! 9-12 Grade can sign up to be camp counselors for just $50 a week!! Also, remember to ask me about OSL Camperships, these camperships can pay up to two thirds of a child’s camp costs!

THANK YOU CHILDREN’S MINISTRY TEAM The purpose of this team is to look at where we are, where we want to go, and what we can do as a congregation to continue to Point Kids to Jesus. Our children’s min-istry has been formed around children in their formative years, ages 2-12. Because of God’s great calling for us as a congregation to nurture these children and lead them home to Him, it is necessary to have a team to guide us in this endeavor. You are also welcome to join us the first Tuesday of the month, or call into the office with Children’s Ministry ideas for OSL. Please meet the Children’s Ministry Team and thank them for what they do; Wendy Signor, Vanessa Sharp, Eric and Kim Neemeyer, Mark Clausen, Nancy Schulz, Claire Voecks, Jeromy and Traci Vauble, Jacob Kooi and Holly Jorgensen. THANK YOU for helping us in Pointing Kids and Families to Jesus!!
