Return of Coffee House

Today we held our first Coffee House of 2011, and it was splendid. We had skits, musical performances and a puppet show.

We had our MC's Wolfgang and Dog (more commonly known as Alex and Cat) hosting the show with very interesting and realistic (sarcasm) facts about the staff members...

We had a skit very much similar to the popular Harry Potter puppet youtube video...

Harry Potter Puppets

We also had Sean's cabin, Taylor and Sam play a Luther Dell version of Don't Stop Believing

Some more pictures from Coffee House...

Melissa played and sang the song Breathe

Volunteer Anna played piano for the "Don't Stop Believing" performance by Sean's cabin...

Laurel's cabin sang their own version of Rebecca Black's Friday

These are the very creative lyrics...

8 a.m., waking up in the morning

Gotta be quiet, gotta go to first word.

Gotta have decree, gotta get French toast

Seein’ everything, the time is goin’.

Ticking on and on, Andy’s rushing for seconds.

Gotta get back to the cabin

I walk inside, it’s such a mess.

Cleaning up the top bunk,

Cleaning up the bottom bunk.

Gotta make my mind up,

Which one should I clean?!

It’s Thursday, Thursday,

Gotta serve God on Thursday.

Everybody’s looking forward to worship (worship)

Thursday Thursday

Serving God on Thursday

Everybody’s looking forward to the worship.

Worshiping, worshiping GOD

Fun, fun, fun, fun

Yesterday was Wednesday, Wednesday

Today it is Thursday, Thursday.

Looking forward to the worship.

We we we so excited.

We so excited

We gonna play mighty tonight.

Tomorrow is Friday,

And Saturday comes after…WORD

We don’t want this week to end.

It’s Thursday, Thursday,

Gotta serve God on Thursday.

Everybody’s looking forward to worship (worship)

Thursday Thursday

Serving God on Thursday

Everybody’s looking forward to the worship.

Worshiping, worshiping GOD

Fun, fun, fun, fun

Looking forward to the worship.

L-D at LUTHER DELL

So chilling in Sunwall (in Sunwall)

In the chapel (in chapel),

I’m chilling, rapping

Fast rhymes, good times

With God by my side (WOOOO!)

We're back in Action!

Last week we had a week long family camp, and while that was a nice change of pace for us, we're excited to have our regular program back in action!

This week we have two new churches here; Family of God in Brooklyn Park, as well as Calvary from Golden Valley. In addition to those two we have Bethesda and TLC returning, which makes this week our biggest yet! We have 76 campers here!!

Last night we had yet another beautiful sunset during our outdoor worship.

Goodbyes!!

We say goodbye to St. Olaf, Minnetonka, and Grace Andover Churches on this very humid day here at Luther Dell. We had a great time hanging out with all of the campers, and can't wait to see them all back next year!

I didn't get a picture of all the campers this week, but here are some cabin pictures.
