Brammer Student Center in Cedar Falls











On Saturday, January 19 and Sunday, January 20, the Lutheran Student Fellowship of Brammer Student Center and College Hill Lutheran Church hosted a high school weekend visit to the University of Northern Iowa campus. There were ten high school students and two adult leaders from Zion Lutheran Church in Hiawatha, St. Paul Lutheran Church in Fredericksburg, and Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Davenport.

The students enjoyed a tour of the Student Center. On site there were ice breakers, games in the game room, and a Bible Study game. These students made up four teams competing for prizes which included UNI shirts. Teams got points from the game and the Bible Study.

The campus tour included fun time at the Wellness Recreation Center where the students enjoyed basketball, racquetball, volleyball, rock climbing, and swimming. Students also got to go into one of the dorms and see the facility there.

After a good time at the WRC and touring campus, the group had a prayer service back at the church. Students attended Sunday morning Bible study, worship service and a congregation hosted potluck.

It is expected that this activity will spark more interest for the students who attend UNI to be active at the Brammer Student Center as well as LSF hosting additional high school weekends in the future.
