SUMMARY:Dandelion Trail Run at CML
DESCRIPTION:Camp Mount Luther in Mifflinburg will be holding a 5 and 10 kilometer trail run race at the camp on Saturday\, September 1\, 2018.  This is an entry-level trail race on Mount Luther grounds with proceeds going to the camp.  The start time for the race is 9:00 a.m.  Runners decide on race day if they want to do a 5k or 10K (a double loop of the 5K) run.  The 10k distance is included in the new Rocksylvania 10k race series. More details on that are available at http://midpenntrailblazers.com/links.html.  Race day registration is $25. Pre-register by August 8 and pay only $20.  Registration opens at 7:30 a.m. on race day.  Spectators are welcome as well. A kid’s fun run will also be held with two age categories:  six and under and 7-10.  Special awards will be presented to every participant in the fun run.  Again this year\, a one mile fun walk on a dirt road will be held with the same registration fees and amenities applying (or you may just walk without receiving amenities for $10).  Awards will be given for overall male and female race time\, three awards for each age group and an overall master’s for male and female in both the 5K and the 10K.  The awards ceremony will be immediately following the race.  Shower facilities are available after the race.  All miles for the course will be marked and there is one water stop on the course.  Timing will be electronically done.  To register\, visit http://midpenntrailblazers.com/trail-race-events/dandelion-run/dandelion-run.html.  The Dandelion Run\, begun in 2002\, is organized by Joel and Shelley Heasley of Middleburg. It was named in honor and memory of Rev. Glenn E. Heasley\, Jr.\, former Assistant to the Bishop of the Upper Susquehanna Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.  Glenn’s favorite “flower” was the dandelion.  Heasley’s widow\, Shirley\, is also involved in the planning of the race.

SUMMARY:“God’s work.  Our hand.” Day of Service
DESCRIPTION:Save the date! “God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday will be Sunday\, September 9\, 2018. This day is an opportunity to celebrate who we are as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America – one church\, freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor.  Service activities offer an opportunity for us to explore one of our most basic convictions as Lutherans: that all of life in Jesus Christ – every act of service\, in every daily calling\, in every corner of life – flows freely from a living\, daring confidence in God’s grace. \nYou work every day to make your community a better place. Let us continue doing this work together in 2018! Access resources to guide your congregation’s planning\, promotion and more at https://elca.org/Resources/GWOH-Sunday.
