In some reading on a Lutheran discussion website in the past week, I came across a resource that might be of value to some of your families. The website is http://hausvater.org/ and its stated purpose is to "promote a Biblical Vision for Family, Church and Society in the Spirit of the Lutheran Confessions". The name of the website is "The Hausvater Project". The german word Hausvater is a noun that mean literally housefather and can be referenced to mean "head of household".

The Hausvater Project answers basic questions to help equip Christian men and women for complementary vocations in family, church, and society in light of Holy Scripture as proclaimed by the Lutheran Confessions. The programs include articles, audio & video, Bible studies, book reviews and much more.

The May Youth Group outing will be Sunday, May 16 from 6pm to 8pm.

The Oskaloosa recreational bike trail is a wonderful concrete trail that is plenty wide and a great recreation resource. We will be riding the bike trail in the northeastern part of Oskaloosa. Air up your tires and lubricate your bike chain and come over to the church parking lot a bit before 6pm.

If you do not have a bike, we can most likely find a bike for you to use, so please come over and enjoy fellowship with the youth group. If you have questions, call Brian and Darci Crile. See the map below to get an idea of where the trail runs.
