The Lord has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To Act
justly and to Love mercy and to Walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8
God certainly has shown us what is good! 2014 brought with it the distinct privilege of celebrating 60 years of ministry
through Lutherhill. What an honor to play even a small part in this story.
Over the past 60 years, Lutherhill has…
- Transformed from an oil pump station to a 16 cabin retreat
- Grown from a staff of 1 (plus lots of volunteers) to a staff of over 72 in the summer
- Expanded from 46 to 88 acres
- Cultivated deep relationships with individuals and congregations
- Impacted the lives of hundreds of thousands of campers
Over the last year, Lutherhill has…
- Shared the good news with 1,248 onsite summer campers
- Lead Day Camps for 1,638 campers across Texas, Louisiana and even Oklahoma!
- Hosted 4,492 retreat guests with programmed and self-guided retreats
- Partnered with LWR to send 1,152 Personal Care Kits and to people in need
- Celebrated the retirement of Gene Citzler, Maintenance Director Extraordinaire, after 43 years of faithful service
God certainly has shown us what is good! As we move into a new year of ministry at Lutherhill, we are grateful as always
for your faithful support. In the year to come, we will renovate and open the Zion Retreat Center on Galveston Island.
In the year to come, we will discern continued site improvements on the La Grange property. In the year to come, we
will continue to be a place for all people of every generation to experience the love of Christ in unique settings and new
ways.
So, what does the Lord require of you? Well, we’re glad you asked. Throughout the retreat season and into the summer
we are exploring our theme – Act, Love, Walk – based on the words from the Prophet Micah. We will focus on discipleship, a life set apart to follow God. This life is marked by an active faith that justly serves, compassionately loves, and
intentionally walks with our God. We invite you to join us – for a retreat, for a week, even just for a moment. Explore new
ways to act in faith, gather around the campfire with the ones you love, take a walk in the woods.
Peace,
Matthew Kindsvatter
Executive Director
ZION RETREAT CENTER-GALVESTON, TEXAS

Renewal Appeal. We are only $125,000 from completion of this exciting project.

• Nine guest rooms, depending on occupancy configurations will sleep from 18 to
36 people with private baths for each bedroom
• Dedicated meeting space to accomodate 100

SAVE THE DATE!!!
RETREAT THEME “...And WE WILL!”
When worships end we are sent out into the world
with the call to, “Go in peace and serve the Lord,” to
which the congregation replies, “Thanks be to God!” At
Lutherhill, we joyfully follow this with “...And WE WILL!”
Join us this year as we explore what it means to go in
peace, serve the Lord and confirm as a body of believers
that WE WILL!

60 YEARS OF MINISTRY! WE
Volume 12, Number 1
January 2015
GIVE THANKS FOR OVER 7,300 GUESTS!
We’ve had such a great retreat season so far. We’re sharing some of the highlights from some of our fall retreats. We
hope you are making plans to come to Lutherhill before summer is upon us. Take a look at what we’ve been up to!
COMMUNION RETREAT
This fall we welcomed 20 families who were celebrating the first
communion milestone. During this weekend, youth learned all
about the sacrament of Holy Communion. We sculpted chalices,
baked unleavened bread, and even enjoyed a Seder meal together.
Local pastors led sessions for adults and youth on the meaning and
significance of communion.
This retreat reminded us to WALK humbly with God, as we saw
campers learn about the holy sacrament of communion and grow in
their faith.
FALL FAMILY RETREAT
Families from across Texas gathered for a weekend of outdoor fun! Pastor Jeremy
Freye shared the Word and challenged our families to deepen their faith together.
Lasting memories were made around the new fire ring near the outcamp treehouses.
Some of our youngest campers were able to get their first taste of Lutherhill life.
This retreat reminded Lutherhill to ACT justly as we saw multiple generations living
out and passing on their faith this weekend. Lutherhill was blessed to be a part of
these families’ faith journeys.
If you would like to be a part of this faith-filled family fun experience, join us next
year at the Fall Family Retreat on October 9-11, 2015.
JUNIOR HIGH RETREAT
Camp was alive and buzzing with over 180 junior high youth during
this weekend retreat. Torrential rains could not deter the campers
from having so much fun playing games, making new friends through
small groups and even performing in a poetry slam. Joe Davis, a
spoken word artist from Minnesota, led our students on a creative
journey to explore their faith and express themselves.
This retreat reminded us to LOVE mercifully as the contagious energy
and passion of these junior high youth spread throughout Lutherhill
this weekend.
Join us next year and be a part of this jammin’ jolly jr high experience,
join us next year at the Jr High Retreat on November 13-15, 2015.
