EASY Presents Closing Program

The students and staff of Emmaus After School for Youth will present the closing program for the 2012-13 school year Wednesday, May 15.

The evening begins at 5:30 p.m. with dinner followed by an exhibit at 6:30 p.m. A brief program will take place in the sanctuary at 7:00 p.m. One of the highlights will be a slide show of the year’s events. The kids have worked hard with homework, and many enrichment activities.

Neighborhood Camp Registration Opens May 6

Registration for Neighborhood Camp will begin May 6. Those who have attended camp in the past will have the opportunity to register by May 19. New campers who register before May 16 will be put on a waiting list and invited to attend camp after May 20. Those interested in volunteering will be asked to complete a form and sign a contract regarding the expectations for their involvement during the summer.

Camp is offered to those who live in the neighborhood; to those who attend EASY and Wednesday Night study; and to those who are Emmaus members. Registration forms will be available in the narthex and outside of Nancy’s office.

Kitchen Help Needed for Camp

Emmaus Neighborhood Camp will take place from Monday, July 1 through Thursday, August 1. There will be no camp the week of July 4. The hours for camp are Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

An important part of camp revolves around food. We strive to serve the campers healthy breakfasts, lunches and snacks. You have been an integral part of serving nutritious meals. Yes, the kids have great appetites. Wanted: food engineers.

You can help in the following ways:

  • Provide cookies, bars, or other dessert items
  • Serve breakfast
  • Help prepare and/or serve noon meals

Again this year, there will be a kitchen coordinator who will do menu planning and food shopping. Contact Liliana at 414-881-1491 and ask how you can help.



SALT Participants Have Fun at Lutherdale

Swimming, canoeing, s’mores around the camp fire, worship under the stars, Bible study, camp Olympics, a petting zoo, camp songs, a climbing wall, zip line, ga-ga ball and even a dance on the last night were some of the experiences of the middle school SALT (Serving and Learning Together) group at Lutherdale Camp.

From August 19 to 22, adults from Emmaus accompanying the group of 38 young people were Brenda Trumbauer, Nan-cy Smith, Pastor Mary, Pastor Jhon Freddy and Liliana Moncada. Con-gregations represented at the retreat were Emmaus, Our Savior’s, Redeemer and Atonement.

Here's Art Smith's video summary of the after school closing program last spring:
