The church has always ministered in disasters, bringing God's Word of comfort, healing and renewal to the variety and depth of human suffering.
When a major disaster strikes, local needs often outstrip the available local resources. In such catastrophes the whole church marshals its resources and reaches out to help.
Caroline Furnace Lutheran Camp - The
purpose of CFLC is to provide an intentional Christian communal experience where
one meets God in God's awesome creation. What should the camper expect?
According to Pastor Wayne Shelor,
Executive Director -- each camp day is centered in Christian community as
campers engage in prayer, nature, bible study, hiking, swimming recreation,
worship, crafts, and campfires. This is a great opportunity for all children
and youth entering grades 1 to 12. Send the Children in your life to Caroline
Furnace and watch wonderful things happen. Parts of the Caroline Furnace web site load best using Internet Explorer.
