“Fragrant Beauty” A Women’s Retreat explored the many fragrances of God’s story; through Biblical history, present in creation, and in the beauty of yourself. We enjoyed the opportunity to breathe in many Biblical fragrances, create a painting, and explore God’s word reflecting on the definitions placed upon “beauty”. 


We experienced “Fragrant Beauty” in the midst of God’s beautiful creation within the season of Autumn at our own ELCA Outdoor Ministry Site, Camp Tomah Shinga, south of Junction City. We took time to enjoy, relax and explore nature void of ringing cell phones, noisy traffic and the bustle of daily life on Friday, November 1st and Saturday, November 2nd. We hope you will join us next Fall to refresh your spirit and nurture yourself.

Operation Christmas Child

By Laura Munsch • October 30, 2024
Once again, our congregation is supporting Operation Christmas Child, a nondenomination outreach of Samaritan's purse. We'll be collecting items to fill shoe boxess of gifts for impoverished children in over 70 countries. Many of these children's families have fled their homes due to violence and live in crowded refugee camps.
