FEBRUARY NEWS
Are you ready to put winter behind you and get ready for summer camp? SUMMER CAMP registration is now open! Don’t delay registering your child for camp so that the dates don’t fill up. RLC has funds set aside to assist in sending our youth to Bible camps. I’d love to see the youth from our congregation go to camp this summer! Many camps have year-round events, even in the winter…sledding, retreats, etc. Bible study, campfires, swimming, crafts, village games, horseback riding, creek stomping, challenge course, pool parties, hiking, mountain biking, tubing and nature time are just some of the things you’ll enjoy at camp. There are even specialized camps, such as Horse Camp, High Adrenaline Camp, Art Camp, Culinary Camp, Drama Camp, just to name a few! Here are few camps located in our area. Check out their websites, or look for other camps, too. Be sure to view their faith statements to help choose what is right for you.

PANCAKE BREAKFAST – FEBRUARY 23rd – CONFIRMATION SERVICE PROJECT
The annual youth pancake breakfast will be Sunday, February 23rd, 2020, following the worship service. Please join us for a delicious, hot breakfast to raise funds for the trip to the LCMC Regional Youth Event in Warrens, WI, on March 6-8, 2020, and other Youth Group events.
Boy Scout Sunday is Sunday, February 9th, 2020. The Scout Sunday tradition was started to make people in houses of worship aware of Scouting, and to allow Scouts to live out their “Duty to God” pledged each week. We welcome Boy Scouts of all ages to wear their uniform!
Thank you to the Preschool and Kindergarten classes for sharing their memory work of the Lord’s Prayer in January. It is wonderful to hear them recite this important prayer!
Upcoming Memory Builders dates:
The Second-grade class will recite the Ten Commandments on February 9th.
The Third-grade class will recite the Apostles Creed on February 23rd.
Please practice the memory work at home and have your child attend the memory builder dates. This is a class effort and is easiest when the whole class shows up. Remember: Strength in numbers!!
The Fourth and Fifth grade classes are making valentines for the Good Shepherd Nursing Home residents and Bremmer Suites residents. Remember to share God’s love with someone! “Love each other with genuine affection.” Romans 12:10
Please keep collecting pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House. Our 4th graders will tour the Ronald McDonald House this spring and are really excited! Please help us support this worthy project by bringing in your pop tabs to the family education area.
Have a fabulous and, hopefully warm, February.
