Day Camp is July 24-28!
Day Camp starts NEXT WEEK! Registration continues for the Lutherhill-led Day Camp to be held at Covenant on July 24-28 from 8:30 am - 3:30 pm for completed grades K-5th. Cost is $60 for the first child and $35 for each additional sibling. We are getting close to our capacity, so don't miss out - REGISTER NOW!
We still need some snack servers and some high school volunteers! If you can help in any way, contact Marian Shelton!
We will also need volunteers THIS SUNDAY immediately following the 11:00 am worship service to help reset the worship space for camp! It won't take long with many hands helping!

High School Youth at Sky Ranch - Colorado
Eight high school youth (Adron, Reese, Mikayla, Tiffany, Laura, Isaiah, DaMar, and Hadley) and two adult leaders (Rudy & Julia) are in the middle of their week at Sky Ranch Lutheran Camp. They will return to Houston on Saturday. Please continue to keep all of them in your prayers for safe travel and a fun, spiritually uplifting encounter in God's beautiful creation. Thank you to all who helped support their fundraising efforts in order to make this trip a reality! Stay tuned for a report on their trip after they return.

National Youth Gathering - Houston 2018
|
|
It is already time to start thinking about the National Youth Gathering to be held in Houston June 27 - July 27 - July 1, 2018. All high school youth are encouraged to attend this amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience, especially since it is going to be in our "own backyard!" We will be scheduling an informational meeting soon to give more details and next steps, but registration opens on September 15, 2017 - very soon - so we will want to know who is planning to participate!
