LUTHER VILLAGE:

As we reflect upon the 2019 season we are so thankful that we were able to recover from the storm last fall and have camp up and running with new roads and upgraded drainage.  Thank you to all of the staff, volunteers, campers and the Luther Village community for a successful season in Outdoor Ministry. Please continue reading to take a glimpse into a few of the many new and exciting additions to the camp this summer.

Community Potlucks

Each Friday during family camp Luther Village hosted a potluck in the campground.  We had over 100 people sharing a meal together each week!  We are excited to continue this new tradition into the years to come.

Mark the Camp Goat

Luther Village got a pet goat this season named Mark (he has an exclamation mark on his back)!  Mark was a wonderful addition to the camp and has quickly become a staple to our community. Mark joined us to help eliminate food waste, cut the grass and build community!

GaGa Ball

This new game located by the beach has been busy non-stop with people of all ages this summer!  It has become a hit with kids campers, family campers, and rental groups.  GaGa ball is a game similar to dodge-ball, if you are curious, please join us for a round next season!

Solar Project

Luther Village installed a 9.4 kw solar panel system this spring. The solar project was made possible from a generous donation from St. John’s Lutheran Church in Winnipeg in memory of Mr. Roy Schendel.  The power generated from the solar panels is being sold back to the grid to help offset our monthly electricity bill.

Thank you to all of the campers, staff, volunteers and larger Luther Village community for a successful season of renewal of mind, body and soul on the shores of Dogtooth Lake.

GRIEF is a JOURNEY:

Has someone you cared about died?  Are you feeling emotional, grieving the loss of the person’s presence in your life?  Are you wondering if these feelings and your reactions are normal?  Do you wish you could get on with your life, but finding it more of a challenge than you realized?  Are you wondering if you are going to make it?

If you can say YES to any of these questions, then our Grief Support Program will be of interest to you.

Come join us on a Grief Journey, with resources by Dr. Bill Webster. (Attendance at every session is not required)  This is a 7 week program, Thursday evenings at 7:00 pm.  Next session is Nov. 7th.

Topic for week 3: Coping with Anger

​​Location: The Church of St. Stephen and St. Bede, 99 Turner Ave.
