Six Weeks and Counting

That's right...only six weeks until the start of the new academic year.  We are currently working on plans for the start of fall '08.  If you are an incoming student, faculty or staff member, parent, pastor, or friend, explore our website.  Be sure to click here as well.

Worship: The first mass of the year will be Sunday evening, August 17, 7:00 p.m..  Compline will be prayed at 9:00 p.m..  The matriculation mass, a festive celebration of the start of the new academic year, will be the following Sunday.  As usual, we hold midweek prayer services on Wednesdays at 12:30 p.m. and Thursdays at 9:45 p.m..  If you prefer a Sunday morning service, St. Paul Lutheran Church (Evansdale Campus) holds mass at 10:00 a.m..

Service: The Lutheran Disaster Response Collegiate Corps (LDRCC) will be recruiting new members at Welcome Weekend.  Recent flooding in West Virginia will probably not be cleaned up by the start of school.  So, we'll be looking at deployment for recovery operations in the early part of the semester.

Fellowship & Fun:  A white water rafting trip is being planned in conjunction with our sister campus ministries in Pittsburgh and at IUP.  We're looking at the possibility of paint ball against with the Newman Club (WVU Roman Catholics).

Schola: The Schola is planning its fall "Pilgrimage to Pitt" for compline at Heinz Chapel.  More info to come.  If you are interested in Gregorian chant and early sacred music in general, click here.

Education: LSM (Lutheran Student Movement) will be investigating educational possibilities in the near future.  There have been questions recently about restarting "Theology on Tap" and interest in catechesis.  Working closely with Project Connect, we'll also be exploring directions for the Pre-Seminarian Group.

Summer Hiatus

Except as otherwise mentioned, the Chapel is on summer hiatus.  Regular worship will resume the Sunday evening before classes begin with mass at 7:00 p.m..

Synod Assembly Celebrates Campus Ministry

The 21st Assembly of the WV-WMD Synod celebrated campus ministry as it met in Morgantown, WV.  You can read the after action report written by the bishop by clicking here.  For us at the LCM@WVU, the highlight of the event was the SA's visit to the Chapel for groundbreaking.  With the SA attendees gathered prayers were offered on the Hough St. lawn which will be the site of the Chapel's expansion.

Chapel Renovations & Expansion Receives Two Big Pledges

In the last month, the Lutheran Campus Ministry has received two big pledges for the "Building on Strength" capital campaign to renovate and expand the Lutheran Campus Chapel.  St. Paul Lutheran Church, Morgantown, WV, and First English Lutheran Church, Wheeling, WV, have each pledged $62,500!  That's a total pledge amount of $125,000!  With these two pledges, the LCM@WVU is half way to reaching its synodical campaign goal of $250,000.  Thanks, St. Paul!  Thanks, First!  If you would like to learn more about "Building on Strength," click here.

HSC Luncheon Update

HSC Luncheon is an opportunity to gather informally for lunch in the HSC Cafeteria.  We will meet Thursday, June 12, at 12:00 noon in the HSC Cafeteria.  Look for us at a table in the far corner from the entrance.  These luncheons are open to faculty, staff, and students.
