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.
Camp Lutherwood to have Inaugural Oktoberfest Celebration and Fundraiser on Saturday, October 4th

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.
