Dear Friends in Christ,
Happy Easter It’s 2018, a new year, a year where God has a plan for us. We hope that your plan for this year includes spending some time at camp, just for a retreat, spending time with family, or summer camp for the youth. Our whole lives are a Journey. If we go to work every day we have the opportunity to share Christ with our co-workers or friends at lunch. If we go to school we let Christ shine through us as an example to others. No matter what our activity is, we acknowledge Him and He will guide us. In just a few days we celebrate His death and resurrection. What a gift He has given us and yet He’s not done. He is with us everyday and every moment of our lives. This year at camp our theme is based on the Journey we take with Christ through our lives. Please come and join us in this Journey.
Thank you Jesus for taking our burden upon yourself and conquering death so that we may live with you in eternity.
Serving Him for You!

Serving on a non-profit board. There is no fixed formula for determining the composition of a board. Form follows function. The ability of a nonprofit board to help an organization reach its goals depends entirely on how decisions are made and by whom, so each organiza-tion needs to evaluate its own needs and priorities and build its board accordingly. Diversity on a board breeds varying opinions, approaches, attitudes, and so-lutions. It requires all of the board members to be open-minded, curious, accepting, responsive, and willing to work together.
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.
1 Peter 4:10
Heit’s Point Lutheran Ministries working

The endowment is managed by the Heit’s Point endowment
committee consisting of the Vice Chairman and Treasurer of the

National Lutheran Outdoor Ministry Association
NLOMA Heit’s Point was honored to host this year’s NLOMA conference.

Maintenance Supervisors, and more - 27 different camps were represented from all over the
country.

Host Ministries
We thought it would be nice to share with all of you, another aspect of Ministry at Heit’s Point. Yes, we have
our own programs including summer camps, but we also host other denominations in their Ministry to share
Christ with others.
This February we had a new quilting group for the first time from Warrensburg. You might ask; What does
this have to do with Ministry? A couple of ladies from this group have now scheduled a Women’s retreat
from Grover Park Baptist Church in Warrensburg.
The First Baptist Church of Knob Noster has been having a men’s retreat here for the past several years.
Through this retreat a group of men from Knob Noster learned about the camp and were here this past week-
end for a Men’s Charge retreat. It is a retreat that teaches the men how to be better husbands and fathers.
During this retreat two men were baptized. They plan on having another retreat in 6 months.
The Methodist church had its first camp this past year called Sanctuary camp. They are coming again this
year and have already been here for a retreat with a service project and are coming back in May for another
service project.
There are several Ukrainian camps throughout the summer and also youth retreats. There is an average of 10
reunions throughout the year, plus 4-H camp, Scrapbooking, other quilting groups, and more. Each of these
provide an opportunity to share Christ.
This week is a great time of learn-
ing from our peers and sharing our
experiences.
These sessions are great sources
of information for all the camps.
Topics range from fund raising
to new youth games.
Together as an organization we
support each other in the hiring
of counselors for our summer
programs.
“And assembled as one, in the name of the Son, lifting hearts, lifting hands, celebrating as friends, and proclaiming the Lord, all our praises afford.
We are brothers and sisters in Christ.”
