We announce this hope to every people, and witness to the renewing work of the Spirit of God. We are to be a herald here and now to the new creation yet to come, a living model.” – Caring for Creation: Vision, Hope, and Justice (ELCA, 1993) Through small group Bible studies, worship, campfire, low ropes experiences, outdoor education and a variety of other daily opportunities we will listen, learn and grow in our faith! It is great to be alive in God’s great northwood’s!
