Camp Luther’s the greatest! A special thank you to Home Depot Tudor manager Jason DeJardin for donating a new stove and fridge to Camp Luther. This is a great start to some much needed updating. If you would like more information about how you can help with Camp Luther, join us for a a meeting at Faith on the 19th after the congregational meeting or speak with Fred Koenig or Pastor Chris.
