WELCOME BACK TO BRAMMER STUDENT CENTER
On Sunday August 23rd the congregation at College Hill Lutheran Church welcomed the students from UNI and HCC as they returned to campus for the fall semester.
The welcome really began on Saturday with the delivery of gift glasses to the students already identified at orientation or with notification from their home congregation. The glasses were delivered by Lutheran Student Fellowship (LSF) members welcoming the students and inviting them to attend worship on Sunday.
Sunday morning began with Bible Study. Pastor John Wegener opened the new study of the book of GENESIS for students and congregation members.
Worship service was set up outside on the west lawn and invited all to participate. The welcome also extended to the neighbors. It was a sunny morning although a bit cool.
Music was provided on the keyboard and the loud speakers carried the sermon message and liturgy clearly to all in attendance.
Following the worship service the students and congregation members engaged in fellowship as they shared the traditionally great food of the CHLC potluck. The food was plentiful and tasty, enhanced by visiting which was enjoyable.
That evening the LSF hosted a light supper for the students. Pastor Wegener grilled hotdogs and hamburgers for all. The opportunity to get better acquainted was a real treat of the evening.
All students experienced the welcoming attitude of the church members and the desire for the student to make College Hill their church home while away from home. It’s going to be a great 2009-2010 school year.
