December News: The Latest from Mount Luther Posted: 12/11/2009

Advent Appeal

Again this December, we are soliciting for folks to give Mount Luther a gift for Christmas!  This has been a challenging financial year for everyone, but we hope you'll feel inclined to share your blessings with the camp.   You can read this year’s Advent Letter by clicking here:

 
Thrivent Choice
This is the name of the new Thrivent for Financial for Lutherans program that is replacing the Giving Plus program. The Giving Plus program was fully funded for this year by mid-November so no more matching gifts are being accepted. The program is ending in 2009. Be looking this spring for more information about this new philanthropic program. 

 
Summer 2010 Brochures and Schedule
Next summer’s brochures are at the printers and will arrive in your mailbox in January. If you want an advance copy, you can see it on our website at www.campmountluther.org. A complete summer schedule is also on-line. We are also offering on-line registration this year!!!! Check it out. Summer staff hiring will also start in January. We are currently accepting applications and reapplications for Assistant Director, Chaplain to the Staff, Craft Director and Head Lifeguard/Counselor. See our website for more information 

 
Annual Mount Luther Sunday in January
Our annual synod-wide celebration of Outdoor Ministries is approaching. The synod designated “Mount Luther Sunday” is the third Sunday of January each year (this year that’s January 17, 2010). Click here for a sheet on some ideas for how you can promote the camp on that Sunday. If you need anything to help plan for this event, let us know! If you prefer to celebrate Camp Sunday some other time, that’s great, too!  Click here for a bulletin insert you can use to promote camp!
