NWD Bible Bowl
The NWD Bible Bowl is coming fast! It is one great way for youth to study the Word of God on their own and in groups. It includes competition of teams (3 or 4 players) in verbal quiz format. Topics will be "Ruth, Esther, Jonah & Daniel" (the English Standard Version will be used). All 7th through 12th graders from churches throughout North and South Wisconsin Districts are invited. Find more information and forms at: http://nwdlcms.org/Youth_Ministry.html
 
Hearts for Jesus
February is Hearts for Jesus for our schools and Sunday schools. Our project is for Peace Campus Center, a campus ministry to the students attending UW-Stevens Point. Pastor Andy Weden leads the ministry and is busy with a new project, converting open space on the property to a playfield, allowing over 7,000 students each school year to be welcomed to Peace Lutheran Campus Center and its facilities, allowing relationships to be nurtured and the gospel of Jesus to be shared with students in this growing, non-Christian culture. Schools will be purchasing lighting and other materials needed to complete the project. Click here to see a brochure, coloring pages and video.
 
Financial Aid
College students pursuing professional church work are encouraged to apply for NWD Student Grants. Over the years many people have contributed to numerous funds to provide support for students from our district. Last year nearly $100,000 was distributed. Paperwork can be found on the NWD website at  http://nwdlcms.org/Financial_Aid.html
