The monthly smorgasbord not only offers an opportunity for LOTI friends and neighbors to gather for fellowship and enjoy genuine Scandinavian hospitality, but the meals also support the benevolence work of our congregation. Proceeds are directed towards those less fortunate in our immediate community. 

Through the proceeds of the monthly smorgasbord, LOTI supports 

Joyce Community Food Shelf, 

Our Saviour's Housing and Community Emergency Services.

Although midsummer sounds like July or August in the US, it is celebrated in June in Scandinavia. It is the time when the days are long and the colors of sea and forest are vibrant. Traditional fiddlers in costume from the American Swedish Institute Spelmanslag and the women's chorus the Cloudberries will perform at LOTI for our 9:30 worship service on Father's Day, June 17th. They will perform traditional fiddle tunes and accompany the congregation in singing favorite Swedish hymns, including "Children of the Heavenly Father" and "How Great Thou Art." 

Camp Amnicon is an ELCA high adventure camp that serves high school students with hiking, white water canoeing, flat water canoeing, and Voyageur canoeing trips. They are normally only for established groups, but this summer they are offering two trips that individuals can sign up for.

 

For over 50 years Camp Amnicon has been safely guiding groups in the wilderness. There are two guides trained in wilderness first aid, lifeguarding and CPR Trained in wilderness skills with each group.  An Amnicon experience is challenging and transforming.

 

June 24 - 29 is the Flambeau River Ramble, which is an introduction to white water canoeing.

August 12 - 17 is Voyageur Canoeing on Lake Superior. This is Camp Amnicon's signature trip that explores the Apostle Islands, sea caves, light houses, and shipwrecks in a 34-foot canoe.
