We are so lucky to call Dave and Jeannette members of Christ Lutheran!

For Jeannette and David Thomas, a trip to the Elizabethtown Fair isn't about the rides or the biggest attractions.

”This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters." - 1 John 3:16

Our youth experienced fun times of fellowship, hiking, swimming, campfires, and bible study this weekend during our camping trip near Trough Creek State Park. We learned that as Children of God, we are all connected through the blood of Christ. And through His sacrifice for us, we can begin to learn what it means to show love to one another.

Thank you to Justin Smith, Heather Gebhart, Vicki Kieffer Yaider, Celia Domines and Pastor A.J. Domines who gave their time, talent and energy to make this trip a huge success!

Our next LYO retreat is October 9-11th, where we will be joining the youth of Shells Lutheran Church at Grenta Glen.

What an amazing first night of Vacation Bible School!

Our kids loved Celebrating the Savior and learning about the life of Jesus through stories, games, bible exploration, snacks, and music (as you can see!).

Tonight's story focused on gifts, both the ones we open and forget and the ones that last. The kids shared about presents they once loved and have outgrown, then listened to how the wise men traveled far to kneel and give what they had to a child. By the end of the night, they were repeating what they learned: Jesus came for them.

Thank you to our volunteers and leaders for making this week possible, and to every family who joined us on a weeknight to be part of it.

One night down, four to go. See you next week!
