Grace Lutheran Church in DeWitt - Concordia River Forest



Concordia University-Chicago (River Forest. Illinois) students have been coming to Grace Lutheran Camp, DeWitt for a weekend in the spring and the fall the past several years. The group spends part of their time at the Camp doing "Servent Event Work" around the camp under the direction of the Grace Camp Board. Many worthwhile camp projects have received extra help during their visits. The balance of the weekend is spent in group study with visiting professors from both the Fort Wayne and St Louis Seminaries. The weekend of September 7th, 8th, and 9th this fall was no exception with fourteen students traveling to eastern Iowa with their advisor, Pastor Harry Therwanger. Pastor Therwanger remarks that this is an excellent experience for the students. Fellowship time is also enjoyed during meals prepared by ladies of Grace Church and Camp. The group always enjoyed the opportunities at Grace Camp for games of football, basketball and volleyball.
