Thirteen Lutheran Student Fellowship (LSF) students from College Hill Lutheran Church and Brammer Student Center, along with Pastor John Wegener, “saddled up” the red van and headed West for a Spring Break Servant Event. The volunteers left on Friday, March 21st, and were away from campus until the following weekend.
The journey lead them to Montrose, Colorado where they worked at Hope Lutheran Church. Rev. Wegener’s brother-in-law, Rev. Darryl Hannenberg, serves as Hope’s Pastor. The students jumped right in on Sunday and began painting. They painted upstairs, downstairs, and even the trim before they were finished.
The work was interspersed with Bible Study and worship as it was Holy Week. The students celebrated Palm Sunday worshiping with members of Hope Lutheran. Maundy Thursday worship service was with friends in Denver, Colorado. Good Friday was observed back in Cedar Falls so that many of the students could head home to celebrate Easter with their families.
The trip also had it’s fun times. The students went skiing in Durango, hiking at Black Canyon National Park, snowmobiling and horseback riding. There was even a shopping stop in Denver.
What a wonderful time for the students to share their labors with others, enjoy faith growth opportunities, and have a great Spring Break experience.
