Public Church Student Visit

Last Friday we had the pleasure of hosting students from the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago for their Public Church Immersion class.  It was a great experience for us, and also (we hope) for them!

Our day included:

• God's Closet
• Community Meal
• Church History Discussion
• Tour of the Sanctuary and Bell Tower
• Visit to Benton House Food Pantry and Garden
• Walking Tours of Bridgeport 
• Visits to Jackalope, Bridgeport Coffee, and Gios
• Sleeping over in the Community Center

Thanks to all who helped to make this a worthwhile experience for the students, including Marge Fashing, Richard Albrecht, Pr. Tom, Christine Doidge, Kristina  and everyone at Benton House, Jim Peters, Kristin Ostberg, all the volunteers from God's Closet and anyone I might have missed!
