I write to share news of a change in your LOM Board leadership. Lindsey Scheid was elected as our Board president at the end of 2015, but has decided to step down from this position. Lindsey is in a new position at Holden Village. Because of the remoteness of Holden, she has been feeling isolated and it's been difficult for her to feel that she's in good communication with other Board members. Lindsey will maintain her seat on the board.
At our April LOM Board meeting, the board voted Casey Fuerst into this role. Casey serves as the Director/Marketing & Communications for Nebraska Lutheran Outdoor Ministries. She shares, “I am grateful for this opportunity to serve LOM in this way. As I’ve worked in Outdoor Ministries over the last 16 years, I’ve learned so much from this network of support and I’m honored to be able to give a little back through this role.”
I am grateful that Lindsey will continue to serve on the LOM Board because she has given much valuable service to LOM in her prior experience as a Board member. And I want Casey to know how grateful I am that she has “stepped up to the plate” in the way she has. I know that I speak not only for myself but for the whole LOM network in expressing this gratitude.
On another note, the 2016 Conference planning committee would like to invite you to check out conference information on the website at http://www.lomnetwork.org/upcoming_events/annual_conferences_titlepage/.
Early interest is affirming the belief that there will be record-setting attendance at this conference. We are working with our site, Carol Joy Holling Camp, to determine capacities, but may need to limit the number of attendees. So make sure you register early to assure your spot and your housing preference!
And I can also assure you that it’s going to be the best Conference we’ve ever had! And that’s after last year’s Conference which was the best one we ever had until this year!
And on another note…We all know how important it is for us to tell the success stories that make the value of our ministry come alive. During the last few months, this has become increasingly evident to me as I’ve been networking throughout the whole church to proclaim the treasure we all know as outdoor ministry. So I’m now on a mission to collect from all of you throughout the outdoor ministry network some of your most memorable outdoor ministry success stories. I’m especially interested in (but not limited to) hearing/reading your stories of how outdoor ministry has had impact on people and groups – people of any and all ages – stories of leadership formation and the deepening of faith and discerning God’s call to proclaim the Good News in what we say and do. Please send your stories to me at [email protected] or tell me on the phone at 603-848-9904. Thank you.
And, finally, on a note that has everything to do with all of the above notes and all you do in your camping and retreat ministry to build community; to provide the framework for so many people to deepen their faith in God and to experience God’s grace and love through Jesus Christ; to show their gratitude by the way they interact with the world around them – THANK YOU. Your work is a treasure for the church and a gift to the world!
