CCamp Okoboji News
· The Camp Okoboji Auxiliary held their annual Quilt Auction, through the nearly 100 quilts, craft tables, and free-will lunch, more than $12,800 was raised to support Dining Hall Kitchen upgrades. What an immense blessing those funds will be and I am so grateful to all who made and/or donated quilts, helped at the auction, and the bidders and buyers!
· Sunday Worship Services are held each Sunday at Camp Okoboji. List of Chaplin Pastors serving each week is posted on the ramp bulletin board.
Building Healthy Families: Whether it’s your growing awareness of the number of hours in your day tinged with anxiety or depression, or a gnawing feeling in your gut about the distance you’re feeling from your spouse, know that you don’t have to wait for a crisis to seek support. It’s often easier to prevent a problem from growing worse than to recover from one in full bloom. Pay attention to your mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational health. Talk to your pastor, a trusted Christian friend, or an LFS counselor, and remember (as the tee shirt says): It’s okay to have Jesus and a therapist, too!

Trinity - Summer Worship Schedule: During the summer months there will only be one Sunday service at 9:00 a.m. The Saturday service will continue at 5:00 p.m. except for holiday or wedding weekends.
Stewardship Corner
God is the one Who provides us with everything we have. He is the rightful owner, and we are stewards. As Spirit-filled stewards, we recognize God as the owner of all things—including our very lives. This means that the choices concerning our money, possessions, time, family, relationships, and tasks are spiritual decisions lived in response to our relationship to God. The more we get to know God, Who owns all things, the better we can manage our lives according to His will. Our knowledge of Him and our relationship with Him is developed by reading and studying His Word and receiving His Sacraments. Through Word and Sacraments, the Holy Spirit does His work of sanctification, changing us into the likeness of our Savior.
Pledge to Pray for Our Troops - On the back table are cards for you to pick up and pray each day Psalm 91 for all Our troops and Our Nation. This is a chance to Pray with other Christians as we Band together to remember those who are serving. Take a couple and pass them on to others!!
