COMMUNITY News:
Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Church will host a week-long Day Camp for youth Aug. 3 through Aug. 7. “Designed for children entering Pre-K through 5th grade (in the fall), this camp is a joyful and faith-filled experience.”
Youth entering 6th grade are invited to participate as junior counselors.
This year’s camp theme is “Hands Wide Open” – a fun play on emotions and how to deal with them, with a spiritual twist. Campers will explore Christian principles rooted in Scripture as they explore how life and faith are bundled together.

- Cost: $50 for the first child; $25 for each additional sibling.
- (Cost includes all supplies and daily snacks. Campers should bring a sack lunch Monday–Thursday).
