SUGAR CREEK BIBLE CAMP FLOODING
On Sept. 21-22 Sugar Creek experienced significant flooding throughout the camp. Damage occurred to fencing, roads; round bales, trees and debris spread throughout the camp; destruction of cement floor in the shop; water damage in some camp residences. The damage estimate from this flooding is between $20,000 and $22,000 at this time.
Sugar Creek is asking for special donations to help pay for these repairs so they do not need to add to their debt. If your congregation or members can help, please contact Don or Sheila at the camp: 608-734-3113 / camp@sgrcreek.org / don@sgrcreek.org

SEPTEMBER 7–SMALL DISCUSSION GROUPS BEGIN
This is an invitation to join one of the small discussion groups that we have talked about over the last weeks and months. This opportunity is one of the most important times for our congregation this year.
This is an opportunity, in a safe and respectful setting, to say and hear from fellow church goers regarding the events of the last year. We do not suppose that it will “fix” everything that has happened, but it is essential to how we will go forward with each other.
Come with a friend or partner, come alone, come if you are a regular church attendee, and please come if you are not here often. Come if you are in your twenties or nineties and every age in between. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.
All sessions will last no more than 90 minutes and will be held at Halfway Creek Lutheran Church. Please sign up only one person on a slot (not Jane and Joe Smith on one slot); as we limit the groups to 9 persons each. You can sign up here.
There is a special session set aside for Youth – please sign up for the Wednesday, September 14th session if you are in high school; by calling the church or clicking on the link above. Confirmation age conversation will take place for this year’s 7th and 8th graders on Wednesday, September 21.
