Snakes!
We just wanted to let you all know that if you spot
a snake or two on or near our parking lot entrance, please don’t be alarmed.
They are probably not real!
We have placed a couple of rubber snakes near the entrance as the first
wave of an ongoing program we have initiated, and which we have dubbed PDI, or Peacock Defense Initiative. While these birds are beautiful creatures
of God and emit a haunting, melodic song… they also emit other things on to our sidewalks. So we are experimenting with some non-lethal approaches to keeping them off the property.

As a fundraiser, Camp Lutherwood is asking congregations to put together a themed basket for the silent auction. Some examples of themes include but are not limited to: cooking, picnic, camp, Scandinavian, travel, gardening, Duck and/or Beaver, etc. The baskets should contain items totaling to a combined value of between $50 and $200. The goal of this event is to celebrate the summer and to raise funds for programming and site support. The goal is to raise at least $25,000!!!! Let's be a part of this fundraising event. The theme for ChristChurch will be
Gardening. If you would like to participate, Lucetta will have a box or a basket in the office in which you can place donations (ideas - a pair of gloves, a trowel, a kneeling pad, a watering bucket). Further information will be coming from Camp Lutherwood's Development Associate.

Council Corner
You're Invited ...
As the new fiscal year gets under way and the new council begins to meet, we will be trying something a little bit different this year. We will be reading a book together entitled,
Holy Currencies, by Eric Law.
In this book, Law focuses on six blessings that characterize many missional and sustainable faith communities. These six blessings are: Time & Place, Relationship, Truth, Wellness, Gracious Leadership and Money. He refers to these blessing as currencies because in order for these blessings to thrive they must flow like the current of a river.
We invite you to consider reading Holy Currencies along with the council. We will be purchasing a few copies that will be available in the library, but you are also invited to purchase your own copy. This book is available on Amazon and from Chalice Press. We will also be offering an Adult Faith Conversation opportunity for the Winter session (beginning in January) that will focus on Holy Currencies and the six blessings it highlights. We hope you'll join us in this valuable learning for the sake of the whole community.
