summer programs

The Rev. Steve Hilgeman, pastor of Redeemer, said that as they
ran their campaign they encouraged members to, “Give as God
leads you to do so, and the results will handle themselves." He also
shared that the members focused on the idea that “It was all
about sending children and families to camp!”
In a conversation with Libby Bedenbaugh, campaign
director, Pastor Hilgeman shared his thoughts concerning the
congregation’s response to the campaign for Standing on the
Promise. “It is important to know that this campaign was designed
to be followed immediately by our annual stewardship drive;
the congregation knew that, and they responded in kind in the
congregation stewardship campaign. The Holy Spirit moved this
congregation significantly; the number of pledging members has
increased, and overall giving has given us the confidence to increase
our proposed budget by an additional 10-12%.”

Occasionally a pastor will raise the concern
that Lutheranch is too far away for his/her
congregation to get involved. Sometimes
someone will share that the church is having trouble balancing
its own budget, so how can they help Lutheranch? Fortunately,
Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, Savannah, didn’t let either
of these objections stand in the way of conducting a campaign
this past fall. Not only did they conduct a campaign, but they
exceeded the $300 per worshipper challenge goal and received
commitments of $25,720 from a congregation that averages 75
weekly in worship.

Standing on the Promise continues in
congregations across the Southeastern
Synod with $2.7 million in commitments
received by year end 2014. The response has
been very encouraging especially when one
considers that two campaigns have been
conducted back to back in the synod.

Conducts Successful Campaign!
The
Summer camp 2015 holds the promise to be tremendous at Lutheridge,
Lutherock, Luther Springs and Lutheranch! An exceptional team of summer
staff is being assembled and trained and attendance is projected to increase
at each site. Lutheranch will be hosting its first ever confirmation camp and
Luther Springs programs will be led by Sue Mendenhall, the new synod director
for youth and camp ministry. Lutheridge is adding Pony Express for grade
school youth, Ride On Explorers and Mission Team Paddlers for middle school
youth and Grandparents Camp. Lutherock is offering an Upward Soccer Camp.
Family Camp and many other adventure options for youth in grades 3-12 are
offered at Lutherock and Luther Springs.
Susan Tellefsen not only served as the congregational leader
for Standing on the Promise, but she also chaired “The
Challenge” campaign for Lutheranch.
Bedenbaugh remarked; “We are grateful for congregations
like Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in Savannah.” She
went on to say that an additional 20 congregations have
scheduled campaigns this winter and spring, but there is
still time for congregations to conduct a campaign before
it concludes in June 2015. In addition to Bedenbaugh, the
Rev. David Hart is available to assist congregations. For
more information on how your
congregation can participate,

NovusWay is owned and operated by the FloridaBahamas, NC, SC, and Southeastern synods of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and serves
all ages from the SE USA. Its camp and conference
facilities are Lutheridge, 160 acres in Arden, NC,
known for its summer camp and year-round ministry
programs; Lutherock, 762 acres on Sugar Mt.,
near Newland, NC, known for its rugged, outdoor
adventure ministry and Lutheranch, 519 pristine acres
in Tallapoosa, GA
Luther Springs is owned and operated by the The
Florida-Bahamas Synod of the ELCA. Programs are
offered throughout the Synod and at Luther Springs,
situated on the shores of Vause Lake. Luther Springs
serves all ages, year-round.
The Holy Spirit uses the Christ-centered camp communities to touch and change the lives of thousands of lives each
summer. The key to Christian camp is the college age staff that love tirelessly, are incredible servants and positive Christian
role models. They are truly following and living out Christ’s example of being a counselor to the world! And in return the
lives of the counselors are touched and changed forever. Witness the story of Athena Bless.
Athena attended Lutherock for three summers and had the same counselor for two summers. She
writes, “I looked up to her and from then on I aspired to be a counselor myself.” Athena followed
her dream and served at Lutherock as a counselor for three summers and as an area director
for one summer. She went on to exclaim, “I anticipated one day impacting campers the way my
counselor impacted me. Instead, I quickly learned that I would be the one impacted by camp
more and more every day. I have been changed by the
beautiful environment and natural landscapes…I have
grown and been humbled time and time again by the amazing
community of campers and staff. All of my experiences at Lutherock have
served as a catalyst to help me gain a better understanding of myself and
my relationship with God.”
Staff that love tirelessly,
are incredible
servants and positive
Christian role models
Athena is now a student at Wake Forest Divinity School and one day aspires to be a camp director. Kara Ridenhour,
Lutherock director, had this to say about Athena and her impact on campers, “She definitely impacted others with her
willingness to jump in and serve and her love for youth, God’s creation and this place was evident in everything she did.”
is both the theme and promise of summer camp for thousands of campers, staff,
pastors and leaders. Athena concluded her reflections by saying “(camp) is the perfect place for people of all backgrounds
and experiences to step away from day to day distractions and intentionally seek God through nature and community.”
Considering being a summer staff counselor?
Being a part of the Lutheridge, Lutherock, and Luther Springs summer staff is being a part of a dedicated team. The counselor
is a facilitator, guide, and role model, enabling the group to have fun at camp while they experience Christian community and
grow in their relationship with Jesus. The 2015 staff information is online at http://www.novusway.com/get-involved. Please
forward the information to anyone who has been out of high school for one year, you think is interested and/or has the gifts to
be a counselor. If you have questions about a specific site, you may be in touch with Lori Bode for Lutheridge: lbode@lutheridge.

Hausers Make Expanded “Mission Possible” at Lutherock
Mission Possible is a $2.3 million capital campaign in the Florida/Bahamas Synod to help ensure
the future of Luther Springs and Lutherock. While the campaign is still in its very early stages and
commitments are still being received from leaders, nearly $600,000 has already been pledged and
there is hope of reaching the $3 million challenge goal!
At Luther Springs, projects will increase capacity for adults and youth, add kitchen (see rendering)
and meeting room space and program components for environmental education, and retire the
debt in order to free up funds for ministry. At Lutherock the purpose is to purchase land at the
entrance to the site (pictured aside) as well as additional land and to build an all-camp worship area.
Vickie and Dr. Ed
Hauser
Ed and Vickie Hauser, Asheville, NC recently made a very generous gift to help purchase land at the entrance to Lutherock. (Their
gift will also enable a Pioneer Cabin at Lutheridge to be remodeled). Their gift came about in an unusual way. Over 15 years ago,
the Hausers committed substantial funds to a trust through the ELCA Foundation that would supplement their retirement income and one day provide funds
for expanded ministry at Lutherock. When they learned that the corpus of the trust would be depleted if they lived another ten years they decided to close the
trust and distribute the balance (over $75,000) to NovusWay as part of their Christian tithing.

The Hausers chose Lutherock as the primary recipient of their gift for several reason. Dr. Hauser has volunteered to do
field work at Lutherock for 25 years and chaired the Environmental Stewardship Advisory Council for most of those
years. As a retired professional ecologist he remarked,
Adult Lodging
“600 of the 709 acre Lutherock site are designated as a
Kuehner Center
“Caring for Creation” site by the North Carolina Synod’s
Task Force on Caring for Creation. The site has also
been designated as the Lutherock Significant Natural
FACILITY DESIGN KEY
Heritage Area by the state of North Carolina.”
Kinports
The acreage at Lutherock’s entrance has never
been owned by the camp and this area is critical to
continued camp operation as Dr. Hauser noted,
“Since this land is now available for purchase by
the ministry, we directed our trust holdings to be
used to purchase this land.”
$2.13

This gift is culmination of 25 years of

dedicated service to the ministry by Ed and Vickie Hauser. Dr. Hauser authored a very comprehensive
Natural Resources Management plan for Lutherock that was unanimously adopted by the Board of Trustees. Recently he has been conducting
an environmental assessment at Luther Springs. The Hausers concluded their remarks by saying, “We hope our gift can be used as an inspiration and
challenge for others to contribute to this most worthy land acquisition.” If you would like more information on how you can help with Mission Possible at
either Luther Springs or Lutherock contact the Rev. Jan Setzler; jsetzler@NovusWay.com, 864-942-2974.
Swimming Pool Dedication
Set for May 2, 2015
The much anticipated new swimming pool at Lutheridge is completed and ready to serve
campers in summer 2015. The pool (pictured at left) is situated on the lower campus
adjacent to Bischoff Lodge, and features a water slide, “ocean entry” for families and
children and a misted area. The adjacent bathhouse will serve the pool and new tent
village that will be completed in the coming months. The dedication of the new pool is
scheduled for Saturday, May 2, 2015, at which time all donors to the Heritage Campaign
and friends of ministry are invited to share in the festivities and camp celebration.
Libby Bedenbaugh
According to Jon Frock, Sr. Facilities Consultant, all Heritage projects have been completed with
the exception of the new tent village which should be ready to serve campers in summer 2016. Other projects included
installing a new HVAC system in Thornburg Hall and remodeling the guest rooms, remodeling Lineberger (dining) Hall
and adding a storage room, remodeling the apartments in Mission Hall and resurfacing the gatehouse section of the
entrance road. A tithe of Heritage Campaign proceeds also went to land acquisition at Lutheranch. Frock concluded
his assessment by stating, “These improvements position Lutheridge to very effectively serve and meet the needs of a new
generation in this new century.”
The original campaign goal was $2 million. The board increased the goal to $2.13 million in order to
undertake a more comprehensive remodeling of Thornburg Hall. As this edition of the LINK newsletter went to press, $2.04 million had
been received toward the $2.13 million goal. If you would like to help put the campaign over the top, contact Libby Bedenbaugh at libby@

REFLECTIONS OF THE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
2020 Plan Charts Future
Course
Together with the Luther Springs Board of Directors, the
Planning & Review Committee and staff, the NovusWay
Board of Trustees spent August 8-9, 2014 at Lutherock
to begin work on Strategic Plan 2020. (Participants are
pictured below). The planning process was led by Frank
Chapman, Resource Development Associates, and a fellow
Lutheran from Lexington, SC. Following is a working draft of 2020 plan.
Mission “providing places set apart to inspire and empower all in Christ’s love”
and Vision “that all who come experience God’s grace, and go to love and serve”
Participants identified seven core values that are at the heart of NovusWay:
1. enabling spiritual growth as expressed in the mission and vision;
2. implementing Christ-centered community;
3. caring for God’s creation;
4. exhibiting high standards of competence and performance;
5. practicing teamwork;
6. demonstrating integrity and exemplary practices, and
7. being good stewards of resources entrusted to our care.
In order to live out the core values and accomplish the mission the board
identified, six imperatives need to be practiced:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Maintain a satisfied client base;
Provide a quality product (programs, facilities and hospitality);
Provide a safe environment for campers and guests;
Maintain financial stability;
Grow revenue and maintain flexibility; and
Increase the base of engaged stakeholders and donors.
Four strategic goals were
identified as the focus of the plan. Each goal has a team of board and staff that
are developing objectives and action plans to accomplish the goals by 2020:
1. Increase total participation 50% by December 2020;
2. Relieve ourselves of the burden of the balloon payment for Lutheranch by
2020;
3. Increase annual fund donor base by 500 (50 %) and $150,000 revenue
(20%) by 2018;
4. Achieve 90% guest satisfaction by 2020 (8 or above on a scale of 1-10)
I trust you sense the care and thought that is going into developing such a
comprehensive draft. Plan 2020 means board and staff efforts are aligned,
resources are targeted to key areas and leadership is united in ministry. A
second planning retreat at Luther Springs is set for Feb. 27-28, 2015 at which
time the 2020 plan will be finalized.
It is a joy and privilege to serve with you.

Camp Month Resources Feature
Eight New Films
It is time to invite the children, youth, and families of your congregation to summer
camp at Lutheridge, Lutherock, Luther Springs and Lutheranch. February is Camp
Month and NovusWay encourages congregations and individuals to get the word
out on all the great programs opportunities.
“Time and time again we see where sharing camp stories and experiences are a huge
part of encouraging a child or even adult to go to camp,” said Laura Bedenbaugh,
Sales and Marketing Manager. “The word of mouth is the strongest influence someone
has when deciding to attend camp and we encourage congregations to find their own
special way to share the experience of camp.”
Bedenbaugh gave several other tips for coordinating camp month:
Share a bulletin or email announcement with the congregation and youth group.
Congregations will soon receive a packet with information and a copy of the
Summer 2015 camp brochure. Call 828-684-2361 to request additional brochures.
If your congregation has a Facebook page, we suggest a four week progression of
activities:
• First week—ask people to share their favorite camp song on your Facebook
page
• Second week—ask people to post their favorite picture from summer camp
• Third week—ask people to share their favorite memory from camp
• Fourth week—include a link to the Lutheridge, Lutherock, Luther Springs
Facebook pages
There are many other resources available including bulletin inserts and eight new
films/videos to promote summer camp and program opportunities:
1. Lutheridge Summer Camp. Great film from a camper’s perspective. Perfect
for a parent or grandparent to share with their kids or to use with a youth
group.
2. Mom’s Perspective on Camp. Ideal to share with a mom who is a little reluctant
about sending her son or daughter to camp.
3. Parents. What to do in Asheville and western North Carolina when you drop
your child at Lutheridge.
4. Adult Programs. Good introduction to the many adult program opportunities
at Lutheridge.
5. Hosted Ministry Groups. Very helpful information for groups that are
considering a retreat at Lutheridge.
6. Destination Asheville. Quick intro of all the great things to do in Asheville
while at Lutheridge. Relevant for adult programs and hosted ministry groups.
7. Lutherock Summer Camp. Go to NovusWay.com to check out this great film
that is designed for middle school or high school youth.
8. Wild Women Weekends. Share with a friend. Space remains
for you to join us at Lutheridge this winter for Wild Women
Weekends.
To request resources or request help promoting Camp Month, or if
you can’t access Facebook or the website, call Laura Bedenbaugh at
828-209-6316, laurab@NovusWay.com and she will get a DVD and
resources to you.

The Men In Mission of St. Paul Lutheran,
Maryville, TN hosted its second annual
Come to the Water fundraiser on August 16,
2014. Come to the Water is a nationwide
fundraiser benefiting outdoor ministries,
sponsored by Lutheran Men in Mission,
the national men’s ministry of the ELCA.
The men of St. Paul designated
Lutheridge as the recipient of both the
2013 and 2014 fundraisers. The combined two-year total of $6,800
resulted from spirited and friendly
Olympic-style competition between
teams comprised of guys ranging from
age 2 to age 90. Clayton Narveson, the
oldest competitor at 90 commented,
“The muscles work a little slower, but it is
always a fun and happy day!”
Since outdoor ministries often take
place near lakes, streams, rivers, or
beaches, Come to the Water 2014 was held at
Louisville Point, a popular park near Knoxville TN. Because
some of the events are water active, the competitors often got wet –
reminding them how they came to the waters of baptism and how baptismal
waters are a common bond across all generations. St Paul’s pastor, the Rev. Rick
Ohsiek observed, “These are wonderful events. In fellowship, play and discipleship,
we show what it means to live ‘walking wet’.”
Fourty-four competitors composed nine
teams, three more teams than last year;
18 women and girls comprised the
referee and officiating staff; and about
50 spectators urged on their ‘sponsored’
teams. Team names included “Mighty
Ducks” (the champions), “Passed Overs”
and “Moustachioed Pistachios.” More
information on specific activities and competition can be
found at http://lutheranmeninmission.org/events/cttw.html.
Larry Moeller, event coordinator, remarked, “Come to the Water is an excellent
opportunity for a men’s group to design and host an event for guys of all ages that
directly impacts outdoor ministries in a very positive way. We learned a lot from last
year, to make this year even better.” The 2015 event is scheduled for August 15.
Moeller indicated that the men’s ministry of St. Paul serves by: (1) helping men
grow and live out their faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ, (2) providing opportunities
for men to grow spiritually and develop
an evangelical attitude through scripture,
(3) inviting men to participate in the life
and witness of the church, (4) socializing
with one another, and (5) supporting the
mission of the church.
The national ministry, Lutheran Men
in Mission (LMM), is an independent
501(c)3 serving all Christian expressions
from its Lutheran roots. It’s vision is: ‘for every man to become a
bold, daring follower of Jesus Christ’. LMM sponsorship of these local events, where
guys of every generation work shoulder to shoulder to support Lutheran Outdoor
Ministries all over the United States, reflects the commitment to build a meaningful
ministry for men of all ages throughout the journey of faith. A
number of similar events are being planned in 2015 across the
country. If you would like more information on how LMM can
assist your congregation in conducting a Come to the Water
event, contact Doug Haugen, LMM executive director, (773)
380-2566, email: Doug.Haugen@elca.org. For details about the
St. Paul event, contact Larry Moeller (865) 984-9040 ext. 110,

Lutheridge Hosts Earth Fare
Lutheridge was excited to host the local branch of Earth Fare grocery stores
in early December. Earth Fare used Lutheridge’s Faith Center to train staff
on food safety and staff policies. “We were excited to have Earth Fare on
site as a hosted ministry group,” said Laura Bedenbaugh, Sales and Marketing
Manager. “While our summer camp and other programs bring so much joy
and life to all of Novus Way’s four sites, it is an honor to have a national grocery
store chain like Earth Fare at one of our properties so they can see all we have
to offer. It is our hope they will share their experience with other organizations
so that we can grow and thrive.”
Earth Fare’s mission is to connect communities and improve lives through
food. Earth Fare has stores from North Carolina to South Carolina and as
far reaching as Ohio.
