  Worship on Sunday, October 18 at 8:30 am & 11:00 am

  On this Sunday we’ll give thanks to God for these spectacular blessings:
  
  
  • 90 years of WELS campus ministry in Madison, WI
  • Chapel’s 45 years as an independent ministry
  • Pastor Thomas Trapp’s 30 years of service at Chapel
  Pastor Paul Kelm (Chapel’s Campus Pastor from 1976 to 1979) will be the guest preacher, with Pastor Emeritus Richard Balge (Chapel’s first Campus Pastor, 1964-71) as lector. We’ll have a reception hour with tours at 9:45 a.m., and a luncheon and brief program of commemoration at 12:15 p.m. Please come celebrate with us!
  
  Someone wondered, after reading the Chapel newsletter:
  
  

A few high-lites in the newsletter:
"maintaining effective tradtions at the Chapel as well as initiating new and fresh ways of sharing the gospel of Jesus with our current student culture."
- I wonder if the "traditions" he speaks of include baptism? Is it relegated to a traditon, a museum piece?
- I wonder how effective having a secular rock band on a Friday night at the Chapel was at getting anyone talking or listening to the Gospel if it was even ever shared?

"we are exploring expanding worship opportuninties, offering a broader Chrisitan Education curriculum, growing the International Student Ministry, coordinating more Chapel and community service opportunities, increasing "marketing" efforts, and nurturing growth in the congregation."
