LIT's must have completed at least grade 10 in June 2014. May 30-June 1 is the training weekend and July 20-25 is the Training Week, both out at LutherVillage. Following that is a Rotation week (details on our website and in our brochure.) Maximum 12 spots so don't delay!
We are in the process of moving out to the LutherVillage site for the season. Our opening has been delayed due to the weather. We are hopeful the rest of the snow will be gone within the week so we can get in and get ready for our first group.

POET’S CORNER:
Medicine
Advil and Tylenol
Iodine and peroxide
Listerine and toothpaste
Medicines all
To fight my body's
aches and pains
infections and bruises
and innumerable germs' intrusions.
A healthy body is my desire.
A healthy person I need to be.
But more than that
I need a healthy spirit
I need that inner peace
That peace that passes all understanding.
Where do I find this heart's desire?
With the prophet, I cry:
"Is there no balm in Gilead?
Are there no doctors there?" (Jeremiah 8:22)
Listen, my friend.
What you are searching for
It cannot be bought.
It can only be found within yourself
You will find the answer to your search
In the words of repentance and forgiveness.
In the deeds of kindness and love.
In the touch of a comforting hand.
Act upon them.
The wise man declares:
"Kind words like honey are sweet to the taste and good for your health."
"Cheerful words are music to the soul."
These words of the Lord will be the answer to your cry.
These words will bring healing to your soul.
Amen. Amen.
