Apple Festival...

Even though we have barely touched into the "Summer Season" here at Lutheridge+Lutherock we are always planning a few seasons in advance. A favorite event is the annual Apple Festival. This year it will be the first weekend in October, the 2nd-4th.

There is nothing like the crisp days of autumn in the Appalachian Mountains. The air is clear, the sunshine bright

and warm during the day and the views, well, on a clear day I believe you can see forever. Life is short and meant to be lived well. So treat yourself to some autumn and mountain magic, bring the family and make a memory that will be long-lived and filled with joy.

Imagine a spectacular weekend filled with a many activities, including a hike to Cross Rock for a breathtaking view, you can also climb the ropes course, pick apples or make apple cider, feast on autumn meals, and take pleasure in sitting around the campfire and gaze at the star filled mountain sky. We also will be offering a special hayride and many types of crafts for the kids! Cost includes two nights lodging, Saturday breakfast through Sunday breakfast as well as all program costs.

Our leader for this fantastic Autumn weekend will be Van Van Horne, Lutherock Program Director.
So take a moment and log onto our website to review the details. We cannot wait to see you!

“Faith Formation Stimulus Package”
In response to uncertain economic times in our country, Lutheridge + Lutherock Ministries is committed that all children and youth will have a summer camp experience, regardless of their families financial situation. In times when financial struggles are in the forefront of life at home, getting away to be immersed in Christian community is more important than ever. We will give special attention to any child whose parent/guardian has lost their job due to layoff or job reductions. It is hoped that the family and home congregation can assist with the camp fee, but it is not required.
A form is available under the “news” section at llmi.org

It is the mission of Lutheridge + Lutherock Ministries, Inc. to provide programs, opportunities, and places apart where all people can experience a Christ-centered community, be transformed through relationship to God and God's creation, and be equipped for ministry.

Vision for Outdoor Ministry:
Youth, adults, and families face an accelerated life pace and pressure from culture that creates stress and leads to separation from God, self, others, and nature. This leads to the need for a safe place to come away for self-reflection and to be fed spiritually by God in order to find renewed meaning in life as a child of God through authentic relationships and service to others.
Lutherock
Camp Lutherock will be the major summer site for youth campers in the long-term future. Even with a new site in the Southeastern Synod, youth groups will continue to travel to Lutherock because of the climate and uniqueness of the area. There will be some adult and family programs at Lutherock, but will not be the major focus of the site. Key = Wilderness Site for Youth
Lutheridge
Lutheridge Conference Center and Camp will continue to serve youth in the summer. Over time, Lutheridge will serve more adults and families. Lutheridge as a year round conference center will continue to thrive and grow in expanded service and ministry.
