    Join us in welcoming the students from UMW!  Please, make them feel at home far away from home at Christ Lutheran Church.  We feel that Campus Ministry is a very important part of reaching out into our community and welcoming young people in Christ’s name.  The students are going through a challenging time of formation and transformation – and we as a congregation want to support them by providing a faith-home for them.  We are also looking for families who are willing to “adopt” a student for the coming academic year.  Activities could include welcoming the student for shared meals or outings, and maybe celebrate holidays together.  You can determine how close the relationship with your adopted student should be.  Most important, please keep the students in your prayer.  Thank you for making Christ Lutheran a welcoming place for our students!

  Past Campus Ministry Events:
    • UMW Spring Break 2007 - Homeless Ministry in Philadelphia
In March, 5 students got to know Philadelphia and it’s people. We cooked at shelters, brought food to men on the streets and learned about the challenges that some in the city face - poverty, violence, and substance abuse. We spent time in conversation and many times in prayer for the needs of the city and our world. The experience that impacted us most deeply, though, was our time spent with the people of New Jerusalem, a community of recovering drug addicts. We were able to spend 4 days with them, joining them for Bible study on 1 Samuel and hearing the stories of where they’d been and how God had held them up. We were awed by their hospitality to us, a bunch of strangers. We came back not only with a deep love for the people of New Jerusalem, but also with a renewed passion to be involved in our own small city of Fredericksburg.
