It's a Concert

We have confirmed the return of Exit9 and Kerensa Gray to come back and play for us.  Also, some local bands have asked if they could perform.  We surely don’t lack for talent.

AUGUST 1st is the date.

Talk to some of your friends.  If anybody wants a chance to perform at open mike, this is a great opportunity.  We already have our first act lined up (right Clancey?).

Born in the basement of a downtown church, the Columbia, SC based duo of Exit 9 has grown into a full rockin' music ministry. For more information about Exit 9, please click here.

Kerensa performs contemporary Christian music infused with jazz, folk, and blues. She recently won the Billie Holiday vocal competition in Baltimore on July 19th. For more info about Kerensa, please click here.

Of course, the cafe is a great place to practice your live performance skills in a low pressure environment. 

And of course, don’t forget that both Kerensa and Exit 9 will worship with us Sunday August 2. There will be a picnic reception after the service. Hamburgers and hotdogs will be provided. Please sign up to attend and bring a dish to share. This is a great way to “Party with the Rock Stars” and say thank you for the great witness these performers provide.

God Does Make House calls

Keep listening to Decemberadio’s Love Can. That is the theme for this year.

We still need a mom to chaperone.  Please consider this service.  If you are thinking about it, but you are not sure if you have the skills, don’t worry about that.  Talk to any of the alumni.  Everybody has a different story, but I think everyone will agree that you come away from the week stronger than when you started.  You will know more about scraping and painting, more about helping others, more about being a mentor and a friend, you will know more about yourself and your relationship to God.

OK, let’s get started early this year. We hate rain days, but we hate “no rain” days even more.

We can celebrate the end of the school year with this event. The weather and water should be great. We are working out the details, but we have choices about the campground. Whippernock Marina is on Lake Chesdin and we have had fun there last couple trips. However, while the travel time stays about the same, Lake Anna offers a much bigger lake and more places to explore.

If you have a preference, please let Steve or Marty know. That will help in planning.

Moms and Dads, this trip really needs you to be successful. Please give Marty a call if spending a day on the lake sounds like fun.

Hunger Rumble Helps Teach About Hunger and Service

We met at Christ the King Lutheran Church for the FIRST EVER Hunger Rumble. As a group, we wanted to focus our work against hunger through the Lutheran Hunger Appeal. We had a good time, even though the group from Lutheran Church of Our Saviour was small. There were all of the usual activities, kickin’ back, a little yard work and singing. But during the Hunger Rumble, it is all done while fasting.

Many, Many thanks go to Maurice and Diane as chaperones. Take a look at the pictures.

Challenge Discovery

This is a fun, experiential and effective way to bring people together to build a cohesive team. In Venture Up! 1/3 of our program will be focused on "low ropes" activities. These are problem-solving activities on the ground that require team members to listen to each other, make decisions together and rely on each other to accomplish the task. The other 2/3 of our program will be focused around a "high ropes" activity. These events help team members push past their perceptions of what they can do while they are being supported by their team.

This is a RALY event, so all of your friends from across Richmond will be there.  Also, it is a great time to share an event like this with friends from school or the neighborhood.

We will meet at Lutheran Church of Our Saviour first and then car pool up to Doswell, Virginia.  Challenge Discovery is next door to King’s Dominion.  Bring a bag lunch and some extra chips or snacks to share.  We will provide the drinks.  We will have lunch on site in the picnic area after the program.

The cost is $35.00 per person.  Bring your money with you to the event.  We will send out a separate RSVP in the next few weeks to get a count.
