Our speaker for this Sunday is Pastor Paul Oman.
Paul was born in the beautiful state of Wisconsin, where he currently resides with his wife and children. He had a strong interest in art early on in his life, inspired by the landscapes and nature surrounding him on the farm where he spent his childhood years. Paul studied the art of drawing while in college and, at 23, he was captivated by the watercolor medium upon watching watercolorist Russell Norberg. His study and passion for art has continued ever since. Paul shares his joy of painting with people of all ages through presentations and teaching.

Wapo Quilt Retreat

The Cross Fire Center at Camp Wapo is the perfect place for quilters to create beautiful masterpieces. We guarantee good fun, quality quilting time, lots of laughs, and the opportunity to learn from each other. Grab a crafty friend, sister, or mom and you’ll be sure to have a blast! Bring your machine, lots of projects, and sewing gear. Camp will provide comfortable accommodations, meals cooked with care, quilting tables, ironing boards, and cutting tables.
Due to our continued Covid-19 protocols we will need to reduce our capacity for our quilt retreat. We are hoping that the situation will continue to improve and we are hoping to be able to add additional spaces for our fall retreat but will re-evaluate at the end of the summer and make a final decision then. If the event is full please join the waitlist and you will be contacted as space opens up. Please contact Ryan Braaten with any questions

Anyone can attend the LWLBC delegate annual meeting but only congregational delegates have voting rights to elect new members to the LWLBC Board of Directors.
If you would like to attend the LWLBC Annual Delegate meeting, please email jenh@campwapo.org. The meeting is only available via pre-registration.
