Grace Camp in DeWitt

Pre-Seminary students from Concordia, Chicago with their leader, Pastor Harry Thurwanger, spent the weekend of September 7, 8 and 9th at Grace Camp in DeWitt. It has become a tradition for many years for these students to come each Fall for a weekend at camp. The group spent Saturday morning helping camp board members stain the wood benches at the outdoor worship chapel, paint the Peter Retreat Center and lay flooring on the bridge to the Friendship Garden. After lunch, devotions, and rest time, the fourteen young men played their annual flag football game. Grace Camp ladies provied meals for the group and sack lunches for their return trip to Chicago on Sunday after attending 7:30 a.m. Worship Services at Grace Lutheran, DeWitt.
