SUMMARY:Virtual CML
DESCRIPTION:Mount Luther is gearing up for their alternative summer camping season for 2020.   While traditional residential and off-site camps were cancelled due to the pandemic\, Mount Luther’s “Camp COVID-19 in ‘20” is in full swing with a number of activities.  On Wednesday\, July 15\, returning summer staff began three weeks of leadership training\, service work\, and the development and implementation of a virtual summer camp experience. \n  \n“Virtual CML” will begin on July 28 and run until August 4.  Online camp activities will be shared then\, in a combination of pre-recorded and live videos as well as sharing of resources of things that can be done at home.  Updates on virtual camp will be provided on the camp’s website and social media.  In addition\, camp staff prepared three worship services that are being posted on the camp’s social media prior to the virtual camp.  They feature the themes of “God’s Promises\,” “Grieving What We Lost\,” and “Hope for the Future.”  This year’s theme at Mount Luther is “From Generation to Generation.”  Campers will explore the stories of familiar Bible characters and their responses to God’s call and promised faithfulness in their lives.  They will see how the enduring love instilled in the promise to Abraham and Sarah continues through Old Testament characters\, to Jesus\, to the early church\, and on to them!  Through the camp’s method of studying the Bible\, called “GROW Time\,” staff will help campers Gather and Reflect On the Word throughout their day\, even in a virtual setting.

SUMMARY:Rostered Leaders Renewal Day
DESCRIPTION:Bishop Collins invites rostered leaders and their families to a Renewal Day on August 13\, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.\, at Camp Mount Luther.  Current events have added tension to the already stressful lives of our rostered leaders. Thanks to our synod council\, the Bishop’s Retreat planning team\, and the generosity of the ELCA Mission Investment Fund we will provide a day of relief for rostered leaders on August 13 at Camp Mount Luther. This one-day event will include opportunities for worship\, conversation\, relaxation\, recreation\, and refreshment. \nThe day begins with a Service of Lament at 9:00 a.m. and concludes with a Message of Hope at 3:30 p.m. For those who wish to linger\, we will offer time around the campfire until 5:30 p.m. (weather permitting). Guests may wish to bring an instrument to play during worship or at other times in the day. \nThose who attend will have opportunities to participate in small group conversations\, a meditative hike\, outdoor yoga\, and more.  The campgrounds will be open for exploring all day or fishing at the lake\, or bring lawn chairs or blankets for sitting on the grounds and enjoying a day away. Bishop Collins and Craig Miller will be available for one-on-one conversation as well.  This respite day is offered at no cost to participants; simply register by August 1: https://tithe.ly/event-registration/#/2050139
