As eyes turn to college campuses for basketball tournaments, it’s a great time to support the campus ministries in the Central/Southern Illinois Synod! Every donation, no matter the size, gives us a chance to win our bracket. Ministries get bonuses for first time donors and for peer-to-peer referrals, so please help us spread the word. Connecting with young adults on college campuses is a major opportunity for our church — thank you for helping us share God’s love on campus!
—Pastor Jon Fry, St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church & Campus Center, Champaign
