Sp 2011 week #2

Looks like we have seven of us heading to Illinois State this weekend.  We'll leave at 6pm Friday, go to Wittenberg Lutheran Center in Normal, and head back to Macomb Saturday morning.

Bible Study in the Gospel of Matthew has been very nice.  What a great group -- about 11 of us walking through the text under the theme "Follow Me."

Thanks to all who stopped by the LSF table at the Activities fair yesterday.  The apple machine was a big hit again.

Retreat to Indiana U in two weeks.  Sign up, please, so we know what vehicles to take.

Dwight has students working on making use of the Impact Grant funds.  Watch for some amazing upgrades in games and fellowship-gathering equipment at the Student Center.

The Gospel is enough.  Watch this humorous video, and give thanks that the Gospel IS enough.

Week #1, Sp11

It's been a long time.

The town and the student center have been fairly quite.  I'm eager to have you back with us.  I hope and pray that the Christmas break was refreshing, replete with worship at your home church, mom's good cooking, the joy of giving and receiving presents, and plenty of rest.  I know my own kids, home from college, have been getting plenty of rest (lazy bums!).  Welcome back!  -- Pastor B

Here's what's coming up in week 1 of the new semester:

• Sunday Service, Jan 16, at 11am.
• "Horseplay" at 9pm TUESDAY.  
• "Follow Me - Discipleship According to the Gospel of St. Mathew" Bible Study at 8pm Wednesday
• LSF meeting after Bible Study ... which would make it 9pm Wednesday.

After week 1...

• Catechism Bible Study:  "Our Life in Christ" class begins January 27 at 7pm at our CHURCH on Grant Street.
• Road Trip/Retreat to Illinois State University and the Wittenberg Lutheran Center on Friday night, January 28.  
• Road Trip/Retreat to the Christ on Campus event at Indiana University.  This retreat is always a fun and informational event, with great speakers and new friends from all over the Midwest.  We leave around 2pm Friday, February 11, and return late Saturday night.  This year's topic:  "Law & Gospel" with Rev. Dr. Carl Fickenscher of our Ft. Wayne Seminary.  Good times!  

Spring 2011 Semester!

We're looking forward to having students back on campus for the Spring semester!  Small changes:

"Horseplay" is going to be on Tuesdays at 9pm this month.  We'll see how that works for those who are interested.  This is the listening session for "The Whitehorse Inn" and/or "Issues, Etc,"

Wednesday Bible Study (8pm) will be held downstairs in the lounge (because it's warmer in the winter!).

The Adult Catechism Class that begins January 27th is going to be held at the CHURCH, across town.  Need a ride?

We're glad to announce that Dwight Wyeth is the LSF President and Brooke Stittleburg is VP.
