Winter Retreat at Bay Lake January 19-21, 2013
90 miles north of the Twin Cities lies the winter wonderland of Bay Lake Camp. Owned by First Lutheran Church on the Eastside, Bay Lake Camp sits on it’s very own island (surrounded by frozen lake). You park at the landing and walk across the frozen lake (walk toward the light). As you walk, you find yourself laying aside thoughts of work, tasks left undone and those damn smart phones. What lies before you is: rest, boot hockey, campfires, scratch food, board games, prayer and Sunday Night Live (variety show that ends in a dance). Likely, you will go in search of The Others (because you know they are out there). Want to come? Reserve a room by emailing Jodi at jodihouge@gmail.com. $100 for a room (sleeps 4-8, plus you have your own bathroom). Meals extra. (Some meals we will buy from camp and some we will cook Humble Walk-style).
Beer and Hymns at Shamrock’s Pub on Monday, January 21 from 7-9PM.
Financial Peace University (A invite from Casey)
Hello dears,
I wanted to pass along the Augustana Church is doing another Financial Peace class February 10th – April 14th (with a break for Easter). Everything starts at 4:45 and ends at 7pm, childcare and dinner are provided. It is about $100 for the class, which ends up being a lifetime membership to FPU giving you access to audit any class ever for the rest of your life. John and I are going back to be small group leaders for the program, as a way to continue our education and to support others learning how to manage money through the lessons in the gospel. Can we add this to the next e-nnouncements? Here are a couple of links that might be of interest to folks, http://www.daveramsey.com/fpu. You can preview a free lesson here https://fpuonline.daveramsey.com/.
This class changed our lives, really and truly. It is worth every second. Thanks dears!!

Future Things of Importance: All ages family camp at Bay Lake Camp, June 20-23, 2013
Paul is the apostle of love. As he shared the message of the love that we ought to have for one another, he emphasized that it is paramount, the most important thing, the thing that transcends every moral code, higher than any claim that anyone makes. Nothing that the different denominations, groups, and religious sects claim matters if they don’t have love. Without love, nothing matters.
One of the most insightful things that Paul shares with us about love is that love is not an emotion. Love is an action. Love is what you do. People may say, “Oh, I get this feeling of love in my heart and I nurture it. Then, if it blossoms enough, I will love someone in action.” However, that’s not the way at all.
