Take Time for the Spirit

Take Time for the Spirit

A good friend of mine has a spiritual practice of drinking her morning coffee on her back deck. No matter the weather, she sits aside at least a few minutes every morning to “sit with God,” as she calls it.  On cold winter days, she wraps herself in a blanket and keeps it brief.  On warmer days, she lingers to watch the birds and listen to the sound of the wind in the trees.

Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity

May 2024 Update

It was a beautiful day to build! About ten volunteers from various congregations in the Faithful Builders Coalition worked at Habitat's project, Bluestem, on Wednesday the 22nd. Mauritz Carlson and Jim Schneider represented Holy Cross. They installed windows, did trim and soffits, and started siding. Stay tuned for more build opportunities, or find Jim if you have questions.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la!

Thank You's

Thank You's

Dear Staff and Members,

Thank you so much for the beautiful red roses for our 50th wedding anniversary. We loved them. That was very kind and thoughtful.

Sharon & Frank Perilo

 

Dear Friends,

From all of us at Nebraska Lutheran Outdoor Ministries, we want to express our gratitude for your wonderful gift. You make such an impact on our campers, retreat guests, and staff - thank you!

We are so excited for our campers and Summer Ministry Team members to join us next month! Our 2024 Summer Camp theme is Created to Be and comes from Psalm 139:14. 

This summer, campers will be given an opportunity to explore more deeply their authentic selves that God has made. They will learn what it means to be siblings in Christ - humans who are brave enough to encourage and stand up for each other, sharing burdens as well as joys. They will grow and learn more about themselves while listening to and sharing with each other. We look forward to celebrating and exploring who we are truly Created to Be.

Again, thank you for your generosity and support of our ministry!

In Christ,
Jacob Spilker - Director of Development - Nebraska Lutheran Outdoor Ministries
