CampLutherlyn - Rehoboth Evangelical Lutheran Church

Camp Lutherlyn is a year around ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America which provides unique opportunities for Christian living experiences in a camp-like setting.

Lutherlyn encourages spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical growth and renewal for the whole person through encounter with scripture, experiences of the environment, educational programs, the witness of staff, opportunities for creative worship, the nurture of personal relationships, recreational activities and fun.

Their summer camp programs are fantastic. Just ask any of our youth who have attended any of them.

Rehoboth has a Lutherlyn Ambassador.

Linda Penfield will represent Rehoboth as Ambassador for Lutherlyn on February 2nd-3rd of 2007. Feel free to contact Linda if you have questions regarding Lutherlyn or need help with registration for any of Lutherlyn's programs. Also, any youth from our congregation that attends Lutherlyn will receive a $5.00 discount.

Youth Freek-End Retreat

Mar-19-2007

Ten of Rehoboth’s youth in grades 6 – 10 recently enjoyed a free weekend at Lutherlyn. Sam & Heather Goncz were the chaperones of this fun and lively group. In addition to fun games and group-building activities, the kids (and adults too!) were inspired by Pastor Steve Bond and the messages that he delivered. Did you know that God wants each and every one of us regardless of who we are? God wants us in our best times and worst times, when we’re feeling like a loser, a weirdo or even if we have a zit. God even wants us to act like a spatula! (Ask one of the kids what that means). The weekend concluded with worship on Sunday morning led by Pastor Randy Gullickson, Camp Lutherlyn Director. Thank you to Heike Drees and Scott Shoup for helping to provide transportation. A fun and inspiring Freekend was had by all who attended.

We invite those who attended to provide feedback to the following questions:

What was your favorite thing you did at Lutherlyn?

What was your most memorable moment?

What did you learn?
