Greetings from Camp Lutherlyn!  We would like to invite you (and others) to join us for a 60th Anniversary Celebration for Camp Lutherlyn.

If you are travelling from afar – a special offer – we’ll open up our wonderful Four Seasons Lodge – at no cost to you – for the first 8 requestors. Contact us at lutherlyncamp.ca@gmail.com>

Dear Friends,

We hope you’ve been enjoying a beautiful summer! As September approaches, our sights are set on one of our most cherished traditions — the Delton Glebe Counselling Centre’s Annual Breakfast & Auction.

We are thrilled to invite you to join us on Thursday, October 2nd for our 10th anniversary celebration. Tickets are now available, and we can’t wait to welcome you.

Event Details
Mount Zion Lutheran Church – 29 Westmount Road South, Waterloo
Doors open at 7:00 a.m. | Breakfast served at 7:30 a.m. | Keynote to follow

This year, we are honoured to welcome Rev. Dr. Kristine Lund as our keynote speaker. Dr. Lund is the founder of the Delton Glebe Counselling Centre and former Clinical Director, Dean of Martin Luther University College, professor in the Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy program, and the Albert J. Datars Chair. She will be retiring from her many roles in April 2026.

Dr. Lund will share reflections on her journey to Luther, the vision that led to the creation of the Glebe, and her transition toward retirement — along with the legacy she leaves as we continue to advance our mission and vision.

Your attendance at this event directly supports the Glebe’s We Care Fund, which provides free or low-cost counselling to individuals who might otherwise be unable to access support. Every ticket purchased, every auction bid, and every gift helps ensure that compassionate, accessible care remains available to all who need it. This year our goal is to raise $10,000 from the event.

Come for the delicious breakfast, stay for the stories, inspiration, and community spirit that make this event so special.

Through our We Care Initiative, we provide subsidized counselling for individuals, couples, and families, offering an average of $6,000 in support each year. This vital assistance is made possible by the generosity of our auction supporters.

This year’s auction features exciting items including tickets and gift certificates from The Waters Spa, Charcoal Restaurants, KW Escape, and more. Watch our website for the bidding launch — and remember, every dollar raised goes directly to the We Care Fund, helping ensure counselling remains accessible to those who need it most.

Our annual We Care Fundraising Auction is now live on our website.  More items are added daily, so check back often.  The link to our auction is found HERE.  Happy bidding!  The auction closes at noon on October 2^nd and successful bidders will be contacted via email or phone. 

Join us in celebrating our 10th Annual Glebe Breakfast and Auction – we are excited to share this milestone with you!

Regards
