Brammer Student Center in Cedar Falls






ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL WEEKEND AT CHLC/BSC

 

Lutheran Student Fellowship at Brammer Student Center, College Hill Lutheran Church, and Cedar Falls hosted its annual high school weekend in January welcoming fifteen students and counselors from three congregations.

The students arrived Saturday and after a tour of the site enjoyed getting acquainted, playing game challenges and Bible study. Pastor John Wegener created a “Law or Gospel” question and answer game to be handled by respective teams. As an aside, Pastor posed the same set of questions to the Adult Bible Class and the participants there were equally challenged for responses.

The high school students and their seventeen LSF hosts and hostesses toured the campus, enjoying a bit of the UNI Women’s Basket Ball game at McCloud Center while doing so.

After dinner and more Bible Study challenges, the students went over to the Health and Wellness Center which was reserved for their exclusive use: swimming pool, ball courts, and climbing wall.

None of the students will admit as to the number of hours slept that night; but they were up and ready for Bible Study the next morning. Following worship service, the students were guests at the monthly potluck hosted by the congregation members.

It is hoped many will choose to attend UNI and be active with their LCMS campus ministry, College Hill Lutheran Church and Brammer Student Center.
