Event Recap
 
Youth Group Bowling Trip
 
On Valentine’s Day, the Victory Youth Group enjoyed a great night of bowling. Participants met at Jax Lanes for some fun, food, and friendly competition. That competition was not limited to Lanes 29 and 30, however, once a few attendees realized they could change the names of their friends on the scoreboards.
 
Surprisingly, no one bowled a perfect game… or even broke 100 points. There were, however, a fair smattering of strikes, spares, and even a few spare splits! In all—though scores were l—when it was time to leave, spirits were high. To God be the glory!
 
To all who came, thanks for attending! And to everyone, we hope to see you in March! God’s blessings!

Teen Bible Study Opportunity!
February 16th at 7:00pm
 
WELS National Teen Bible Study is an online opportunity for teens across the country to digitally connect with each other around the Word.
 
This quarterly, WELS pastor-led Bible study is a great opportunity for teens to interact and study with others who share their faith from around the country. To learn more about the program, read about it here on the WELS website. Teens must register to participate. You can register here.
 
Upcoming Bible Study Theme: Love to the Fullest
Some sources claim that there have been over 100 million songs written in our world about the topic of love. Everyone’s talking—or singing—about it, but what exactly is love? What does it look like? How do we know when we find it? How do we know how to show it? This interactive online Bible study for teens will explore those questions and more as we look closely at Jesus and find out what is “Love to the Fullest.”

Youth Can Earn Support for Camp South Attendance Fees!
 
Starting in 2025, Victory youth can earn partial subsidies to cover some of their Camp South attendance fees by completing service hours here at church. Through this program, youth are encouraged to use their God-given abilities to help others and support the ministry of Victory—and get rewarded for it! By serving, youth earn a 5% subsidy per service hour to be used toward Camp South attendance fees, up to 50%.
