Moving from Semester-to-Summer

Street Level finished up the UW-Stout spring semester a few weeks ago. As with every spring, the weather got warmer and the UW-Stout students all went home.

Even with the students gone for the summer we will still meet on Monday nights throughout the summer. But our focus will shift towards fellowship (backyard gatherings, some camping, and many 50-cent cones from Burger King…) and preparation for the 2019 fall semester.

This summer includes one noticeable change: we are moving the annual thrift sale from Memorial Day weekend to the month of September.  (stay tuned…)

What the Heck Happened

Here are a few highlights from the semester, including a few changes to our typical routine:

1. We periodically switched locations and held our bible studies at the Blind Munchies Coffeehouse. The fresh scenery was refreshing, and it also gave us the opportunity to utilize the Coffeehouse even more!
2. A large group of Street Level members took a road trip to Kentucky over the spring break holiday to serve at the St. Vincent Mission center. We lived and served together for a week – doing some home repair among other serving opportunities.
3. We had a coffee giveaway and campus outreach in late April. There was coffee, kickball, and calf-injuries. It was fun.
4. We hosted a study night at the Blind Munchies on the Sunday before finals week. Intense mental exertion was fueled by equal parts desperation and free coffee & popcorn.
5. The final night of the semester was a worship night. We ate spaghetti and worshiped God together.

A Great, Big Thank You

Our continued goal as a campus ministry is to provide opportunities for college students and other young people to follow and serve the Lord.  

This is primarily done through committing members to a service position in Burning Dog Radio, Word on the Street Magazine, The Blind Munchies Coffeehouse, and the Creative Team.  

Within these groups the effect is twofold: (1) we can out reach outward to the UW-Stout campus through multiple avenues, and (2) we grow in our discipleship through serving alongside other Christians of varying ages and backgrounds.

This is where the “thank you” comes in: none of this would be possible without the commitment and support of the JFBelievers community members. You all are a MAJOR part of any success that Street Level has.

Thank you JFB for loving us, praying for us, and spending time with us.
