Noisy Offering for Lutheran Campus Ministry – July 13 and 20
Lutheran Campus Ministry—La Crosse has received a challenge gift of $20,000. An anonymous supporter of this ministry to the University of Wisconsin La Crosse, Viterbo University and Western Technical College has offered to match all donations received from individual donors and families during the months of July and August, up to $20,000.
Lutheran Campus Ministry deeply appreciates the generosity of their donor and asks you to assist us in meeting this person’s challenge. Meeting this goal will help them to continue to provide full time campus ministry to our area colleges. They will be able to continue their partnership with Crossroads Campus Ministry, offering radical hospitality to students in their new building: Common Ground. They will be able to meet the challenges of ministering to students in the 2nd decade of the 21st century. These students are our hope. They are our joy.
July 13 & 20 we will be taking a Noisy Offering to help support this vital ministry. Thank you!

Land Donated To HCLC Approved By Congregation
On Sunday, June 22, the congregation of Halfway Creek Lutheran Church accepted a donation of land to the East of our church. This generous donation will bring our current building into compliance with current county zoning and will allow the addition to meet zoning requirements as well. Now that the congregation has accepted the land, we need only to ask the county to rezone the new property to match the zoning of our existing building. As soon as that is done, we can officially break ground. Continue reading “Land Donated To HCLC Approved By Congregation”
