UW – River Falls

The Journey to Corinth

While it was still dark this morning, we disembarked in Memphis, and were very thankful to have Billy from Mt Olive Church waiting for us there at the station. We had breakfast together and headed straight for the church in Baldwyn, Mississippi. As we settled in, we took a tour of the church building and the bed ministry workshop that we’ll be spending our next week in. We’re very grateful for their hospitality, and they’ve been using the pole barn we built a lot for the bed ministry.

Later, we visited the city of Corinth nearby and took the afternoon to explore the town and have some pizza together. We are thankful for your prayers and are looking forward to attending church tomorrow and getting to know the people here more!

Tired and Wired

Street level left Menomonie this morning on its way to Mississippi for spring break! We will be working with bunk bed ministry in Baldwyn Mississippi next week helping to build beds for kids who need them.

Today we made it to Chicago and to the train station successfully. We got some dinner and enjoyed watching various stages of wedding developments (a bride and groom taking wedding photos and a marriage proposal (*no one from our group)) as we waited…

The train is leaving soon and we’ll travel overnight to Memphis, arroving bright and early at 4:00 a.m. Pray for us that we get some decent sleep on the train, and make it to Memphis in one piece!

Winter Kickball Happened…

The Street Level campuses joined forces for some “winter” kickball on Saturday.

Members from UW Stout, UW River Falls, and UW Superior were on campus in Menomonie grilling out and playing kickball on Saturday. There were minimal injuries (praise the LORD!) and a clear winning team at the end of the day.

Thanks to all who came out!

Halloween Party at UW Stout!

Street Level held its 20-somthing-th Annual Halloween Party at the Street Level House on Friday night!

We had UW-Stout and UW-River Falls students in attendance.

The costumes were impressive. The music was loud. The dancing was widespread. It was awesome!

Thanks to all who showed up and helped-out!

Street Level Fall Summit!

Street Level had its Fall Summit this past weekend! Members and participants from UW Stout, UW River Falls, and UW Superior gathered in Menomonie to hang out and discuss the topic: “Seeing the World Through the Eyes of God.”

On Friday night, we had two sessions at the Street Level House in Menomonie. On Saturday, we had 5 sessions on campus at UW Stout in the Memorial Student Center.

Road Trip!

Members of Street Level Ministries from UW Stout, UW River Falls, and UW Superior hit the road last week for the Campus Ministry United conference in St. Louis, MO.

This was the 3rd year in a row that Street Level had attended the conference to worship, take in teaching, and hang out with college students and campus ministers from the Missouri area. It was a great time! We enjoyed each other and had a lot of great conversations with our friends from the South!

Street Level Camping Weekend

Street Level gathered at the Believers Church campground for its annual
summer weekend camping on Friday into Saturday. We had members and participants
from UW Stout, UW Superior, and UW River Falls.

On Friday night, we played volleyball, snacked, cooked over the fire,
listened to one of our staff member’s (Abby) testimony, and talked missions for
2023-2024.

On Saturday, we went to the June Dairy breakfast, which was held literally
“next door” to the campground. This was a 1st time experience for
many in the group, including our international students from Nepal and India.
After breakfast, we hit the Red Cedar River for a large group tube ride (float)
down the river.

It was a great weekend of fun and fellowship! Thanks for all who attended!!

On June 23-24th, Street Level is going camping & tubing!! Members and participants from all campus — UW Stout, UW Superior, and UW River Falls — will be joining us in beautiful Connorsville, WI for the event.

Spring Summit Photos!

Participants from UW Stout, UW River Falls, and UW Superior met for an all-day Spring Summit to discuss “True Christianity: Bearing the Marks of a Christian.”

There were almost 50 in attendance for the day who participated in 4 teaching sessions, small group discussions, testimonies, ministry updates, and more. There was also a coffee trailer outreach put on by The Blind Munchies Coffeehouse.

It was a great day!
