Spring Semester Events

New Bible Study Starts January 28!
This Sunday we will begin a new Bible study series for the spring semester. We will be looking at the book of Psalms and how it tells us about Christ and helps us in our prayer life as Christians. Please join us Sundays at 10:30AM in the University Student Center at Luther Memorial Chapel.

Epiphany

After the twelve days of Christmas, which end on January 5, the church year moves to the Epiphany season. The Feast of the Epiphany of Our Lord, January 6, begins this season. Epiphany means "manifestation," that is, "making known." Jesus Christ, true Man, is shown to be also true God in the Epiphany season. That's what Epiphany is about! It's more than just a remembrance of the Wise Men coming to see the child, which is the Gospel account for the Feast of the Epiphany. But it goes on to include the Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River and Jesus' first miracle: turning water into wine.

What's happening in LSF at UWM?
