PUBLISHED BY THE MISSOURI DISTRICT OF THE LUTHERAN CHURCH—MISSOURI SYNOD July 14, 2017
Bethlehem Lutheran (St. Louis) Pastor and Members Attend the Church Interpreter Training Institute (CITI)

Pictured are students of the Church Interpreter Training Institute (CITI), a joint partnership of Lutheran Friends of the Deaf in Mill Neck, New York, and Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

The program was held June 25 to July 3, 2017 on the campus of Concordia Theological Seminary with the goal to help students learn and improve their church interpreting skills so that they may go back to their home churches to proclaim God's Word to the Deaf in sign language.

Three of the students this year were from Bethlehem Lutheran Church in St. Louis, Missouri, including Pastor Gerard Bolling. The students interpreted at daily chapel at the seminary and attended classes on interpreting Scripture, sermons, hymns, and liturgy. CITI, which began more than 30 years ago, is a program led by co-directors, Rev. Thomas Dunseth of Michigan and Deaconess Heidi Sias of Missouri, who both work remotely for Lutheran Friends of the Deaf in New York.

Concordia University Wisconsin
will host "Moving to Mars",its first-ever summer STEAM Camp for young scientists in St. Louis, July 31 - Aug. 4, 2017, at River Roads Lutheran School, 8623 Church Rd. The week-long camp, which runs from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. each day, is open to students in grades 3-8 from all over St. Louis.

Cost for each camper is $90 for the week. Scholarships may be available for students who qualify for free or reduced lunch. Class size is limited. To register your student, visit CUW.edu/organizations/steam/index.html.

"Moving to Mars" will take place inside River Roads Lutheran's new, state-of-the-art STEAM Lab, which was constructed last year by Friends of River Roads and members of Immanuel Lutheran Church and School in St Charles.

Throughout the week the camp's young astronauts will plan their impending space launch by figuring out the distance to Mars and how to navigate their spacecraft. Campers will also devise plans for landing on Mars and exploring its environment. Once they arrive, they'll design and create a community in which to live, considering food, shelter, and weather. Finally, students will decide whether to stay on Mars or find a way back to Earth.
