Synod Day at WVU
Sunday, April 20, was "Synod Day at WVU." Visitors from local
congregations enjoyed touring the Luther House and the Chapel itself.
Grillmaster Jason Felici grilled up some dogs and burgers, and all were
well fed. A larger than usual crowd sang the
Service Book and Hymnal liturgy with gusto at the 7:00 p.m. mass. We'll be planning another one for sometime next academic year.

letters, inspirational spams, or jokes sent via this service.

service,

FaceBook Fan Page
We've added a FaceBook "fan page." links.
We're not sure how well it will do, but we're giving it a shot.
By clicking here,
you can visit the site and decide if you would like to "become a
fan." If this develops the way we hope it does, this "fan page"
will become an important place to get information and share ideas about

LSM@WVU (our university recognized student group),
Lutheran Campus Ministry Alumni/ae,
Schola Cantorum (our early sacred music ensemble), and the

Looking for an internship or service learning opportunity?
The Lutheran Campus Ministry at WVU is embarking on a two-year capital
campaign. Students with an interest in non-profit administration,
fund-raising, marketing, communications, etc. are asked to speak with
the Chaplain. Even if those sorts of things are not your are of
interest, other service opportunities can be had, ranging from
preparation of worship materials to on-campus communications to
hospitality ministry to custodial.
"Support" Pages On-Line
In an effort to make easier for you to
support the LCM@WVU, we've now upgraded to allow supporters to make
donations using any one of four major credit cards. There is much more
to supporting the LCM@WVU. The thematic design of our support webpages
provides a way for your to navigate through the options and perhaps
discover things you had not even considered. Although the redesign is
not
complete,
you can check out the substantial progress at...
