Event Recap
 
Youth Group Outdoor Games
 
Saturday, March 8th had Staff Minister Mielke nervous. As rainclouds rolled across the sky above church mere minutes before outdoor games were set to begin, our good and gracious Lord saw fit to keep those clouds rolling. With slight sprinkles beforehand to cool the air, the weather ended up being perfect for getting some exercise.
 
The event started with Victory’s youth discussing “The Devil Strikes Back”, a short Bible study dealing with sin and temptation in our lives, and how we can combat Satan’s wily ways. After that, it was off to the races. The group split into teams and even Mr. and Mrs. Mielke got in on the fun (and felt it for the next few days). With three rounds of capture-the-flag, everyone had a taste of victory! What a blast!
 
To all who came, thanks for attending! And to everyone, we hope to see you in April! God’s blessings!

Teen Bible Study Opportunity!
April 6th 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: I Am Blessed!
Have you been unhappy lately? Maybe a little sad or unsettled? Maybe you know something’s wrong, but you can’t quite put your finger on it. Or maybe you do know what’s wrong. Maybe you see all the happiness and success of other people and you’re frustrated it can’t be yours. Why can’t I be happy? Why can’t I be blessed? If you’ve ever felt like that before, this Bible study is for you! Teens from all over the country will have the opportunity to read and study Psalm 32 together as they are reassured in this most important truth—“I am blessed!”
