Confirmation Camp 2010
The week of June 13-18 thirty-three sixth
graders, who will be 7th graders this Fall,
attended Confirmation Camp at NeSoDak
Bible Camp on Lake Enemy Swim near
Waubay, SD. Combined with youth from
other congregations, there were about
108 youth in camp! There were games,
activities, Bible Studies, Campfires,
Swimming, Kayaking, Canoeing, Worship,
and lots more! Pastor Loren led the Gloria
Dei group in studies of Biblical passages
and of the Sacrament of Holy Baptism.
Ask any of the kids about their week.
They’d love to tell you about it!
Those at camp were: Abigail Anderson, Reilly Andresen, Travis Christensen, Adam Daly, Madison Elliott, Abbie Grinager, Madelynn
Hacket, Jack Hammond, Matthew Harms, Adrianna Heinert, Austin Hoflock, Regan Jensen, Tommy Jensen, Kennedy Kampa, Jamie
Kayl, Kassandra Kolbeck, Alec Kray, Annika McCallum, Andrew McGuire, Morgan Moe, Ashley Needham, Jackson Olson, Amanda
Paulson, Ashley Paulson, Samantha Peterson, Alexis Ramharter, Madison Rost, Reilly Schneider, Logan Schultz, Peyton Stenzel,
Nick Sundstrom, Julie Teslow, and Brooke Weber.
A Word from Pastor Loren
The lightning streaks across the sky lighting up the
clouds. The thunder sometimes claps quickly after the
lightning, and sometimes it just rumbles from a distance.
The rain pours and builds up on streets and fills the
gutters to overflowing. The grass floods quickly because
the earth beneath can’t absorb rain that comes so fast.
It’s a South Dakota thunder storm!
Fortunately, that’s not an every-day occurrence; but we’ve all
seen it and stood in awe of its power and beauty! The earth
receives an absolute drenching. The trees sag temporarily
under the added weight of the rain water and bow with the
prevailing wind. And when the storm subsides and the sun
comes out again
the colors of leaves, flowers, and all things
natural seem so much more brilliant and fresh and clean!
Your life and mine are filled with all sorts of
things on a day to day basis. Some of those things
may be like lightning. Some like thunder. Some
like a strong wind. Some like a soft breeze. Some
like the earth soaked beyond capacity. Some like
the brilliant colors after the rain.
What’s going on in your life? Lightning? Thunder?
Soft breeze? Heavy wind? Bright sun? No matter
what’s in your life, it is important to look at WHO
is in your life. There is an amazing brilliance that
comes to our lives as we walk in faith with our Lord and with one another. Our burdens
become lighter. Our love grows greater. Our service is given more often. Our words of confession are spoken quicker. And our lives are transformed once again.
Our lives will never be free of lightning,
thunder, wind and rain. But by faith
we trust God’s love and care for us to
“see us through the storm” and guide
us in the darkness to the brilliance of
His own Son. It’s nothing you and I do,
because we can’t! It’s because of the
way our Lord’s love shines in our lives.
Pastor Loren

MISSION AND OUTREACH
JULY PARTNERSHIP MINISTRY
Soldier Creek
Soldier Creek is on the Rosebud Indian Reservation and is just outside Mission in South Central South Dakota.
There are over 20,000 people on the reservation and those living below the poverty level are over 80%. We have
been building a relationship over the years with the Soldier Creek residents and Grace Episcopal Church under
the guidance of Faith Roubideaux and Father John Spruhan. We have helped with building improvements to the
church, insulation, hot water heater, painting, cleaning, as well as other building maintenance. Every winter we
assist with the propane to keep the church heated and bring hats & gloves or sweat shirts & sweat pants, fruit
baskets, and gifts for everyone at Christmas.
We hope to improve water drainage and help repair erosion sometime this summer. Watch and listen for more
information.
Hola!
Do you feel called
to international mission work?
We Met New
Nicaragua
Mission Volunteer,
Miranda Meyer
on June 26th & 27th
If so, mark your calendar – the dates for the 2011
Gloria Dei medical mission trip to Nicaragua are
February 16-23, again overlapping the President’s
Day holiday. The deadline for the trip deposit is
October 31, 2010 (this is earlier than previous
years due to Nicaraguan Ministry of Health regulations). Informational sessions will be held late
summer/early fall. Watch the newsletter and
bulletins for specific dates and times. You don’t
need to have medical training or background to
participate. Contact Pastor Loren for more
Information.
Miranda Meyer is the new South Dakota Synod Global
Mission Volunteer to Nicaragua. She graduated from
Augustana College in Sioux Falls this May and officially
began her work with the South Dakota Synod following
her installation at the Synod Assembly in Rapid City
June 11th & 12th. Miranda was at Gloria Dei the
weekend of June 26-27. Miranda will be going to the
ELCA Orientation for Mission Personnel the first three
weeks of July and arriving in Managua, Nicaragua, on
July 24. She and the current Mission Volunteer, Annie
Bjerke, will be together during August to create a
smooth transition. Please support her in prayer as she
prepares for her ministry in Nicaragua. Our medical
Mission Team will work very closely with her as we
prepare for the trip in February.
Books with pictures from previous trips can be
viewed in the church library.

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying. “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”
And I said, “Here am I. Send me.” Isaiah 6:8
The Hero C.A.S.T. is a ministry (a called and sent team) that serves to support members of Gloria Dei (or family of
Gloria Dei members) who are serving in our Armed Forces - men and women deployed over seas or stationed here
or away from home. Each member is connected with a serviceman in order to provide prayer and support for them
and their families. This has included cards and letters, care packages, phone calls to family and quilted pillowcases
for servicemen and their spouses. Member Sharon Edmonds serves by writing letters to Gloria Dei’s Heroes (and
others) while they are away serving our country. The Hero C.A.S.T. also serves by assisting/organizing the rest of
the congregation in remembering and supporting our military.
What can you do?
Pray: Our service men and women and their families are deeply grateful that someone cares enough to pray for them
and help carry their burden.
Lord, Bless our soldiers, airmen, sailors and marines.
Bless their bodies. Give them physical protection, safety and health.
Bless their labor that they may do their job well, with skill and wisdom.
Bless their emotional health, that they trust in you and rest in your peace.
Bless their social situations. Keep their marriages and their relationships with family and friends strong.
Bless their spiritual being that they may know you, trust you and experience your unfailing love for them
even in the great difficulties that they may face. Amen
Write: Send a card or write a letter - even if you do not know the servicemen or their family personally. Write about
everyday life here at home. And, of course, thank them for how they are serving us and our country. Letters can be
dropped off in the “letters to heroes” box in the narthex at church - to one of our Gloria Dei heroes or to any serviceman/woman. The Hero C.A.S.T. will address and mail it for you. You may also connect with groups sending cards/
letters/care packages and offering support in may ways on web sites like www.anysoldier.com or
www.operationhomefront.net.
Remember: Always remember the families at home awaiting the return of their loved one. Their sacrifice is also
great. Offer help wherever there is a need - anything from child care to chores. And, of course, thank them for their
service and their sacrifice. Remember, too, those who have served before, both during times of war and times of
peace.
Heavenly Father,
Bless the families of our service men and women.
Provide them with every provision that they need
and comfort them in times of distress. Amen.
To our men and women in uniform…
past, present, and future
God bless you…
and thank you.
