2020 O Canada MLC Alumni Tour
Join MLC Professors Greg Diersen and Brian Hennig , and Tour Director Steve Balza for an amazing journey to the Mountain West. Open to all W/ELS members, MLC Alumni Tours feature daily devotions, WELS worship, and expert insights from MLC professors and staff.

This year's summer destination is a July 10-25 circle route from Seattle through Western Canada, with stays in Vancouver, Revelstoke, Jasper, Calgary, and Spokane. This region is generally considered one of the most beautiful destinations in all of North America.

Visit the tour website for full details. Registration opens December 15. We encourage all who plan to join us to register by December 21 as the tours tend to sell out quickly!
Scholarship and Statue Status
The Fishers of Men statue and scholarship campaign is nearing completion. The intent is to present a gift to MLC in thanks to God for 25 years of blessing on our alma mater (1995-2020).

Dedication has been set for August 21, 2020, and to date, over $75,000 has been given. The gift will consist of a symbolically significant statue of Jesus holding a net and inviting us to come, follow, and fish for people. The statue will be identical in size and style to the Luther statue. It will stand at the center of the mall as a daily visual reminder of why MLC exists.

The second component of the campaign is to establish an endowed scholarship that will begin supporting students in 2020. Please consider a year-end gift in honor of a Fisher of Men who made an impact in your life or ministry.
College Choir to Tour South Atlantic
