Quote 1: “Christ comforted and blessed and healed and wrought many miracles with his hands. He touched the eyes of the blind, and they were opened. When Jairus sought him, overwhelmed with grief, Jesus went and laid his hands on the ruler's daughter, and she awoke from the sleep of death to her father's love. You also remember how he healed the crooked woman. He said to her, "Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity," and he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and she glorified God.

Wash away my sins in the immaculate blood of the Lamb and purge my heart by thy Holy Spirit. Daily, frame me more and more in the likeness of thy son, Jesus Christ, that living in thy fear, and dying in thy favor, I may in thy appointed time obtain the resurrection of the justified unto eternal life. Bless, O Lord, the whole race of mankind and let the world be filled with the knowledge of thee and thy son, Jesus Christ.” Your Quote 2 Answer Here: _______ Quote 3: “"I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details." Your Quote 3 Answer Here: _______ Quote 4: “In regard to this Great Book, I have but to say, it is the best gift God has given to man.

Quote 6: "If a person doesn't think that there is a God to be accountable to, then what's the point of trying to modify your behavior to keep it within acceptable ranges? That's how I thought anyway. I always believed in the theory of evolution as truth, that we all just came from the slime. When we died, you know, that was it, there is nothing, and I've since come to believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is truly God, and I believe that I, as well as everyone else, will be accountable to Him." Your Quote 6 Answer Here: _______
Quote 7: “Thus without the Scripture, which has Jesus Christ alone for its object, we know nothing, and see only darkness and confusion in the nature of God, and in our own nature. Your Quote 7 Answer Here: _______ (Check your answers on page 4.)

A BIBLE BRAIN TEASER There are 16 books of the Bible mentioned in the paragraph below See how many you can find. Good Luck!
“I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible. It was a lulu; kept people looking so hard for facts and, for others, it was a revelation. Some were in a jam, especially since the names of the books were not capitalized. But the truth finally struck home to numbers of our readers. To others it was a real job. We want it to be a most fascinating few moments for you. Yes, there will be some really easy ones to spot. Others may require judges to help find them. I will quickly admit it usually takes a minister to find one of them, and there will be loud lamentations when it is found. A little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate better. See how well you can compete. Relax now, for there really are sixteen names of books of the Bible in this paragraph.”
(For the answer sheet, stop by the office and ask Michelle.)

CAMP LUTHER NEWS – MAY 2014
For more information on any of these camps, visit www.campluther.com.
WORKBEE WEEKEND (May 16-18) - Volunteers have always played
a major role in keeping Camp Luther clean, beautiful, and in good
condition. We continue to be blessed by hundreds of individuals who
participate in Workbee Weekends. Individuals and families can help get
Camp ready for the summer by working on various projects; there is
something for everyone. The weekend is FREE, including all meals.
WHAT IS "EVERY KID TO CAMP?" – EK2C is a ministry that sends
kids to a week of summer camp at no expense to their parents. Kids
in grades 3-8, who have never attended a summer camp at Camp Luther, qualify. The
ministry goal is that every child in our district, and beyond, attends summer camp before
the ninth grade. Please give so more children can experience Christ through Camp.
STARTER CAMP? - Is your child interested but not ready to attend a whole week?
"Discovery Camp" is excellent for your 3rd-5th grader. It’s all the fun of camp packed into
four days! Campers also get to experience housing in one of our awesome villages.
MEMORIAL DAY FAMILY RETREAT (May 23-26) - Start a new Memorial day tradition. Join
the staff-lead favorite summer activities or do your own thing in this flexible schedule. A
guest pastor leads Adult Bible Study while staff teaches the kids in age appropriate groups.
"HAPPY CAMPER 5K" Saturday, May 24 - This is a 5K Trail Run, 1 Mile Walk, & Kids Fun
Run. All proceeds after event costs will benefit the Camp Luther Campership Fund, established
to provide financial aid so that every child can have the opportunity to experience camp.
2014 CAMP LUTHER GOLF CHALLENGE (June 6) - Gather your team for the 2014 Camp
Luther Golf Challenge at Rhinelander's Northwood Golf Club; proceeds will pay down our
Retreat Center mortgage. We’ll have great prizes, food, and fellowship. See you there!
"GUITAR CAMP" (July 13-18) – NEW! An experience geared for the guitar enthusiast. Each
day campers spend 3-4 hours in instruction, practice, and group jamming. A special performance
will be planned for the entire camp at the Thursday night variety show. Guitar camp participants
will participate in the Trailblazer program during the remainder of each day. Grades 5-8.
"U.P. KAYAK AND HIKE CAMP" (June 15-18) – NEW! For grades 3-6 and their parents.
Campers will travel via bus to Watersmeet, MI for a 4-5 hour Kayak on the Ontonagon River
then travel to the Porcupine Mountain State Park for camping. The group will hike a beautiful
path along the Presque Isle River concluding on the shores of Lake Superior.
STAY CONNECTED – Keep up to date on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Vimeo & Linked In.
WHAT IS KEWEENAW BASE CAMP? – KBC is located six miles west of Houghton, MI. It is
our newest effort to provide exciting opportunities for youth and young adults to grow in
faith, service, leadership and outreach. Participants grow through intentional group
activities, adventures, and service in the local community. Eleven youth groups will visit
KBC this summer and other youth will come to “The Edge” camp for individuals. Email our
Base Camp Director Blaine Welch at [email protected].

Softball season is almost here In spite of what message you are receiving from the weather, it’s almost
Christian Softball League time again! OSLC is planning to field two
teams this summer. Games begin on May 18th and take place on
Sundays at 4:15pm, 5:30pm or 6:45pm through the first week of

church, or sign up in the office hallway. This league is a great way to have fun
and fellowship with our own members as well as other Christian churches in
the area. I look forward to hearing from you and having another great season.
Can You Say That Again, Please? Folks who use a hearing aid often cannot
hear the sounds that come through a
public address [PA] system. For some of
our congregational members with hearing
aids, that means they cannot hear or
understand the pastors when they lead
worship because their voices are
amplified through speakers. Our
congregation has received seed money to
purchase a ‘hearing loop’, which would be
a solution to that problem, and further
gifts are being invited. You will continue
to read more about this gift invitation in
the coming months. What is a hearing
loop and how does it work? - A hearing
loop is a wire connected to an electronic
sound source that transmits that sound to
the telecoil in a hearing aid or cochlear
implant. A loop can discreetly surround a
room, a chair in your home, or even be
worn around the neck. Hearing loops can
be connected to a PA system, a living
room TV, a telephone (land line or cell),
or any source that produces sound
electronically. A hearing aid and most
cochlear implants equipped with a
manually controlled T-Switch is all that is
required to hear in a hearing loop. The
telecoil or T-coil receives the signal from
the loop and turns it back into sound in
the hearing aid, eliminating background
noise. The listener simply switches their
T-coil on and the sound is heard directly
into their hearing device, clear as a bell,
with no background noise or interference.
If the listener prefers to hear surrounding
sounds, they only need to switch their
hearing device to M/T. It’s that simple!
