Summer Bible Camp:
t Central Valley Parish, we believe that ELCA Lutheran
Camping Ministry is joyful and fun, engaging youth at various stages of life. Faith formation is fueled through camp songs, games, relationships with cabin mates/counselors, campfire time, Bible studies, and more. Therefore, part of the ministry of our parish is to help kids and their
families to be encouraged and supported in their connection to our ELCA Bible Camps.

Perpetual Care Immanuel Lutheran Cemeteries:
Did you know that Immanuel has four total Cemeteries to care for each year? We are so blessed to have such
beautiful land on the prairie in which many families have generations of loved ones laid to rest in.
We invite you to help with the perpetual care which largely includes mowing at roughly $7,000 each year and what is not covered by donations is paid for by the general fund. Thank you to those who give regularly to the perpetual care. If you have not given a donation yet this year, we are prayfully asking you to please consider doing so over these summer months. You can mail a check into the church
office with Cemetery Fund in the memo line. Or you can make an online donation at: www.centralvalleyparish.org Follow the yellow donate button. You can set up a one time or recurring donation. You can select “Cemetery Fund” in the drop down box on the online giving page. Thank you in advance for your help and generosity, it is greatly appreciated.
