Lake View Camp Update

Lake View Camp is one of the ministries we support as a church. We send many kids and families to camp each summer. Here is their latest update letter:

Despite cancelling our regular summer camps due to COVID-19, over 200 people (kids, parents, grandparents, and friends) took advantage of our “Spend a Day at Camp'” opportunity this summer. All enjoyed the beauty of God’s creation, learned how they can see 20/20 with God, and made many camp memories! As we look to fall/winter, we are exploring possibilities to safely provide some fun camp activities for those interested.

We are excited to announce that earth moving equipment will be arriving soon to begin site work for Phase 1. We are looking forward to taking this next step in our camping ministry! Striving to live within our means, the board has decided to start work only on the new Lodge (includes dining, kitchen, gathering area) and the necessary infrastructure and to hold off on our large, multi-story cabin units until more funds are received. Instead, we will be building 3 to 4 stand alone cabins with restroom/shower facilities.

These buildings will be built by skilled, volunteer labor (let us know if you can help!). A separate fund has been established for this and if you would like to contribute, please designate “cabin fund” on your contribution. $40,000 has been contributed to this fund so far, primarily from former campers and counselors who remain passionate about the power of camp. If you would
like to make a donation in honor of a camp counselor or Sunday school teacher who made a significant impact on your life (or your child’s life), we would love to hear about it when you send your donation! If you prefer giving to the new Lodge, those donations would be welcome and appreciated as well. Please indicate your desire by writing “capital campaign” on those gifts.

If you would like more information, please feel free to contact Lake View Camp’s director, Diana Brummel, at 641-628-2160, or board members Bob and Dort Kampman (Kesley) at 319-830-8958 or Lance and Lindy Ibeling (Parkersburg) at 319-883-1264. Also, we would love to have you visit Lake View camp this fall to see this beautiful piece of property God has entrusted
to our care. Give us a call or visit lakeviewconference.com!

    Journey Students Attend Dare 2 Share

    Saturday, a group of students from our Journey youth attended the Dare 2 Share conference. Dare 2 Share has become the go-to teen evangelism training resource for youth leaders in the United States. It is a one-day evangelism training event that equips teenagers to start a gospel revolution in their own communities.

    At LIVE, thousands of students are trained to pray, serve others, and share their faith—all at the exact same time. Inspired and trained in the morning, attendees then go out and serve their local communities, sharing the gospel with their neighbors and participating in a simultaneous, nationwide gospel movement.

    God is moving among the heart of the young. We are excited to see the continued work He is doing in the lives of our middle school and high school Journey students.

        Elder and Deacon Nominations

        Call for Nominations

        Each year we nominate individuals of our congregation for positions of leadership. We believe that leaders are called to serve and our members are a key part of the discernment process in determining who that will be.

        Please nominate any member, 21 years of age or older, whom you feel is gifted to provide leadership as an Elder or Deacon. Elders and Deacons provide for the spiritual care and oversight of the congregation and serve together with the pastors on the Consistory, the governing board of our congregation.

        Please send your nominations by Sunday, October 11 using the form below:

          Women in the Word – New Study begins Oct. 1

          It’s All Under Control

          A new Women in the Word Bible Study, begins October 1, meeting on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays each month from 6:30-8 PM in the teal classroom (314A/B).

          Embark on a 6-week journey with the theme “It’s All Under Control.” Let go of the things you can’t control, find the strength to hang on tighter to those you can, and finally learn how to tell the difference. Use scriptural truths to guide you in living a life of surrender to God.

          Workbooks will be provided. Childcare is not provided for this study.
