SUMMARY:Mount Luther Sunday
DESCRIPTION:The Upper Susquehanna Synod Council has designated that Transfiguration Sunday each year be recognized as “Mount Luther Sunday” to help promote outdoor ministries in the synod. Members of USS congregations are encouraged to celebrate outdoor ministries on this day\, March 3\, 2019. Mount Luther is an extension of the ministry that is done in local Lutheran congregations. The camp asks that congregations promote the camp on that Sunday or designate another Sunday this spring to do so. Ways to promote the camp include bulletin inserts to share with congregation members\, Temple Talks\, camper testimonials\, bulletin board displays\, special camp music during Sunday school and church services\, as well as special offering being collected. Ideas are available here:  https://www.campmountluther.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Mount-Luther-Sunday-Flyer.pdf.  For a bulletin insert to put in your church bulletin\, click here:  https://www.campmountluther.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/General-Bulletin-Insert.pdf

SUMMARY:Camp Mount Luther Helped by Raise the Region
DESCRIPTION:Camp Mount Luther is participating in “Raise the Region” on March 13-14\, 2019.  The event\, coordinated by The First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania\, helps the community support local nonprofit organizations’ fundraising efforts.  FCFP\, in partnership with Blaise Alexander Family Dealerships\, will be launching the 30-hour fundraising event on March 13 and 14\, 2019\, starting at 6:00 p.m. on March 13 and ending at 11:59 p.m. on March 14.  Blaise Alexander Family Dealerships has donated money that will be used to stretch a portion of donations made to pre-registered nonprofits.  Additional monetary prizes and incentives will be awarded throughout the entire event.  This program is designed to help organizations\, like Camp Mount Luther\, kickoff 2019 fundraising campaigns and increase donor bases.  Proceeds from this event will go to camp’s Annual Fund\, unless a donor gets in touch with the camp office to designate it for another camp cause.  How it works:   \n\nOn March 13 and 14\, donors will visit raisetheregion.orgfrom a computer\, smart phone\, iPad\, etc. to learn more about the nonprofits participating and how their work is impacting our community.\nYou can then make an online donation to support one or more of those nonprofit organizations on the Raise the Region website. Running totals will be shown throughout the day at the Raise the Region website.\nAt the end of the donation period\, a pro-rated match per gift will be determined and the Community Foundation will send checks to all participating nonprofits with the amount raised\, the pro-rated match\, and any EXTRA money from prizes awarded throughout the day.\n\nCamp Mount Luther has participated in Raise the Region for six years and has garnered about $82\,000 in donations during this event. The camp hopes you will help us to have another successful year!
