Sarah and family

Introducing our Labor Day Retreat Speakers—who will guide us through our theme Grace Wins:

Pastor Sarah Sumner-Eisenbraun is an amateur roller derby queen whose day job is being associate and campus pastor at Salem Lutheran Church and School[Offsite Link] in Glendale, CA. Sarah has a passion for faith formation at all ages and stages and finding creative and innovative ways to communicate the power of God’s grace. She and her husband Kevin have two small kids, Zoe and Ezra, and one chubby cat, Louie.

Is it not wonderful news to believe that salvation lies outside ourselves.

Four sessions are planned:

  1. Being Lutheran: What’s Grace Got To Do With It?
  2. Grace Wins: How Grace is Relevant Today
  3. Grace as a Way of Life
  4. Making Bethel a Place of Grace

Each day will have time for fellowship, food, speakers, and games in the beautiful, rustic setting of Mt. Cross Camp, in Felton.
