The Upper Room
An alternative place to be between 9:00 p.m. and midnight on Thursday nights for students looking for fun apart from the downtown scene. Location and activities vary from week to week but include such things as games, movies, worship, and prayer.
Discipleship
Discipleship can mean a lot of things, but here's what we're talking about. Do you have a hunger to grow as a child of God and as a follower of Jesus? Are you willing to commit to a cause that requires discipline and self-sacrifice? Are you willing to be a leader as Jesus defines leadership- servanthood and giving up your rights for the sake of others? That's who we're looking for!
Now practically, what does that mean?
- Weekly (or more) time for one-on-one and small group mentoring in all areas of your life.
- Leading a small group of others who are seeking Jesus.
- Making a 2-year commitment to serve in the Whitewater area.
This commitment isn't for everybody, but we don't want to invest a lot of our time and money into people that aren't serious about growing in their faith. No, you don't have to be perfect. You don't even have to be super-spiritual. But you do need a hunger for the Lord. The rest we will figure out together.

Look Up, Lift Up
FREE LUNCH
Drop in Tuesdays from February 2 through May 11, 10:45 a.m.-1:00 p.m. at the Church.
Good cooking, friendly servers. You'll almost feel like your home!
Why do we do this? We want to give your wallet a break, and your stomach a treat- all in the name of Christ's love. (Plus, it keeps us feeling young!)
And if that's not cool enough, check out our Water Buffalo Project.through Heifer International. 100% of all donations go towards buying a water Buffalo.
And that includes Sentry receipts! Next time you buy something at Sentry, ask for a friends sticker for your receipt, and bring it to the next lunch. Sentry will give us 1% of your grocery total for the Water Buffalo Project. Why a Water Buffalo?
Every week, we send out a reminder about lunch, with a devotional written by students (they're really good!) and a calendar of events for the next week.

Experience…God’s Country!
Boundary Waters Canoe Trip
August 22-28, 2010
Cost: $250
Canoe lakes carved out of solid granite by the glaciers, hike portages used by generations before you, set up camp under a star studded sky, paddle peacefully along a pine-laden shoreline, look for the loons, eagles, fish (and bear and moose!), cook over an open campfire, marvel in the magnitude of God’s creation, share—songs, Scripture, stories, prayer, laughter—together. This is God’s country!
Please note that this is a relatively vigorous wilderness experience requiring reasonable strength. No experience canoeing or camping is needed, but a sense of adventure is!
Questions? Contact Anne Gibson or Owen Cooper. Due to campsite restrictions (9 max per site), there are only 7 slots open—They will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
$25 and a registration form are needed to hold your spot.
UW-W's campus ministries came together Spring 2010 semester for 150 hours of non-stop prayer (that's a whole week)!
Event Planning Team
Looking for a group of students to plan and shape future events and adventures for UWW students on behalf of United Methodist Ministries.
The last frontiers.
The least reached people groups.
Who will reach them?
Today, 649 unengaged, unreached people groups (about 535,000,000 souls) are still beyond the reach of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They are spiritually lost and helpless like sheep having no Shepherd. Among them Christ remains unknown, unacknowledged, and unadorned.
These 649 people groups are perhaps the neediest of the needy. They are unengaged, which means that no one has yet taken responsibility to tell them of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. The 649 are at the very heart of the unfinished Great Commission task.
The Mission is to form a global network of local churches, denominations, church planters, and mission agencies that are willing to work together in partnership to see church planting initiatives launched among the 649 Unengaged, Unreached People Groups (UUPGs).
Broomball Tournament
THE CHAMPS!
