| L.I.F.T. Event at Muhlenberg College - June 9, 2007 |
| The theme for the LIFT event is based on a verse from Lamentations: "Let us lift up our hearts as well as our hands to God in heaven." (Lamentations 3:41, NRSV) Choices, choices, choices. There were so many choices for activities! There were workshops, (of which I went to a music workshop), concerts in the chapel (I made it to 3), Bible Bingo, Outdoor activities on the lawn, Conversations with Bishop Strobel, Conversations with Persons of Faith (Bach, Martin & Katie Luther, Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, ELCA Deaconesses and Dietrich Bonhoeffer), The Augsburg Fortress Book Store (I made it in there too), various Ministry Displays, SWIM Concert (youth musicians from Emmanual Lutheran Church in Emanuelsville), Youth Lunch with Bart Campolo, and a Children's Program that ran for 2 1/2 hours. Funds raised from the Run /Walk in the morning went to the ELCA World Hunger Appeal (www.elca.org/hunger). The day ended with a service in the Life Sports Center. |
