Las Vegas Career “Employment” Ministry Update
On April 23d we were fortunate to have two gentlemen visit us from Indiana who have been leading a faith based career ministry for the past 5 years.  They led a Career Ministry Leadership Seminar on Saturday the 25th and provided valuable information.  There were a few congregations that sent representatives and an overall strategy was mapped out for the ministry.  We are still in need of leaders to be part of this important program.  If you are a Web Developer, Human Resource Specialist, Career Coach, Personnel Recruiter, Resume Writing Professional, Training Development Specialist, Marketing Manager, Organizational Development Specialist or Change Management Professional please let us know.  The hope is to have the plan fully in place and seminars for those needing the ministry services to begin sometime in the summer.  For more information or to offer your assistance please contact, Christine Spalding at 921-2700 or email at Christine.Spalding@faithlasvegas.org

African Mission Clothing Drive

African Mission Clothing Drive
      One of our  mission churches, Salvation Lutheran Church in Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa has expressed a need for gently used summer clothing for men, women and children. They are requesting any gently-used items and even said these donations are considered clothing "fit for a king".
      As you may remember we helped Salvation with the rebuilding of their church that was destroyed in the war. They are beginning to build an orphanage, as many children were left without homes and families because of the war.
 
     You may drop off your donations in the box under the world map from now until Pentecost Sunday, May 31st.

Invitation to Hike

June Hikes

June 6 - Cathedral Rock

 
    This is a moderately strenuous hike to an overlook of Kyle Canyon that is 1.4 miles each way and gains 1,000' elevation from the 7,600' trailhead. 
 

June 20 - Mummy Springs

 
    This is a moderately strenuous hike to the spring near the base of Mummy Mountain.  It is reached from the North Loop trail after hiking 3.2 miles and gaining approx 1,600' elevation from the trailhead which is at about 8,400' and passes the "Raintree" which is an ancient Bristlecone pine estimated at over 3,000 years old.  Alternatively, we can hike up Trail Canyon which adds 1/2 mile to the trip each way but still passes the "raintree".
 

Meeting Times:  7 am departure from the NE corner of the Faith Community parking area (near our bus).  Please let Jim know if you expect to join us on either or both of these outings or have any questions. Also, consider inviting a friend to join us if you know someone who might be able to handle the demands of hiking at 8,000' elevation.
