Camp is not just for kids! This
great program takes place at our Luther Crest Alex site. Grades listed
for youth are for the grade TO
BE COMPLETED PRIOR to the summer.
Women's Week
at Luther Crest A special week for women
of the ELCA! Separate programming is
offered for children and grandchildren of all ages. Arrive Sunday
afternoon and stay through early-afternoon Thursday.
This year's morning
presenter is Michael Furchert, Christian speaker and concert pianist
from Berlin, Germany. He brings an inspiring message of hope
and faith. Michael comes from a Christian family that has lived
their faith throughout challenging times of European history. His
grandfather, a professing Christian under Hitler, his father a
pastor behind the Berlin Wall. Michael grew up under the
dictatorship of Communist East Germany. At the age of 17 he saw the
Wall come down. He challenges and inspires us to stand on God’s
promise to be more than conquerors, to overcome and be victorious in
our lives and faith. Michael’s warm-hearted approach is entwined
with beautiful piano compositions.
