Happy Wednesday,
Yesterday we reached another devastating milestone in the course of this COVID-19 pandemic. With 400,000 COVID-19 deaths, we take a moment to grieve those we’ve lost. Many of us have family or friends that have succumbed to this virus and we grieve together. Other’s have been lost to the loneliness inherent with the current state of our lives.
And so in our grief we pray:
God of us all,
When our hearts are broken in grief and loneliness, we reach out to you. Bring us comfort in our loss, friendship in our loneliness and peace in our anxious world. God we ask you to hold those in our midst who are suffering. Hold them in your loving arms and show them the peace we know so well.
In Christ we pray,
Amen.
In Christ,
Pastor Sara

Registration opens today for the 2021 camping season! Check out the camps and events at Dakotas United Methodist Camps.
Registration and all information for the 2021 camping season will be digital and available on our website. With the potential for changes to schedules and events leading up to summer due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Dakotas and Minnesota Camp & Retreat Ministry team chose to forgo the traditional printed camp brochure this year. Instead, all camp listings and registration information are on the Dakotas UM Camps website where details will be updated quickly, and changes made in real-time. This ensures you will always have the most up-to-date information.
The early bird incentive, bring-a-friend discount, and camperships are all still available.
Space may be limited this season, so sign up soon!
|
|
- Register by April 30th to receive the Early Bird Discount of $5 off per night of camp.
- Bring-A-Friend Incentive is back in 2021! Each new camper you bring to camp you can earn you a discount of $25 off the price of your camp.
- Before registering, check with your local church to see if they offer a discount code.
