Mark your calendars for Saturday September 22nd from 5-11 p.m. for a fun filled family event with traditional German food including Pork Schnitzel, Brats, red cabbage, sauerkraut, German potato salad, and delicious homemade German desserts. Enjoy dancing the night away to Quarry Road while partaking in some fine German bier, wine and soda. There will be games to participate in, and you may have your picture taken with the Frau and Fraulein life-size images which are part of the Bavarian decor. The event will be held at the PLIA building at the intersection of County K and Post Lake Drive. Festivities will be held in the building as well as in our newly enclosed pavilion.

Oktoberfest begins at 5:00 p.m. with dinner being served. Music with Quarry Road will begin at 7:00 p.m. playing Polka music as well as a variety of other genres. Dust off your Tyrolean hats, pull up those Lederhosen, and start practicing your favorite Polka dances! This fun-filled event is a great way to start the fall season in Northern Wisconsin.

This is a free concert. A freewill offering will be received to benefit Child Evangelism Fellowship of Wisconsin.

Wisconsin Believes is a coalition of missional and Kingdom-focused Christian servants who desire to help city and community leaders transform their place for Christ.  We work together toward unity and community impact through prayer, building relationships and discovering God’s strategy for each city—the whole Church, taking the whole Gospel to the whole State!

We will accomplish this by encouraging and resourcing one another. The upcoming statewide gathering will be a very prayerful and action-based gathering of city-reaching practitioners.

Please consider becoming a part of Wisconsin Believes, we invite you to join us on Tuesday, September 25, 2018, 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM, at the new offices of LOVE INC of South Wood County.  The address is 710  20^th Ave. S., Wisconsin Rapids.  The office number is 715-424-5683.

We look forward to a time prayer, relationship building, and strategy discovery!  See the tentative agenda BELOW and come prepared to share your insights with the group.

 Tentative Agenda: 

9:30 to 10:00 – Preparatory prayer (for those who can and will) as others arrive.

10:00 to 10:30 – Greeting and individual introductions.  Who you are, where you live, where you work, what other ministries you are involved with, etc.

10:30 to 11:00 – Expanded sharing of the Wisconsin Believes vision and the community transformation process.

11:00 to 11:45 – Roundtable report of good ministry things happening throughout Wisconsin.  We’d like everyone to share what’s happening in their particular “neck of the woods.”

11:45 to 12:30 – Lunch & fellowship time.  Pizza and refreshments courtesy of Wisconsin Marketplace Ministries.  If you have a gluten-free or other food issue, please bring your own lunch but enjoy a free beverage!

12:30 to 1:15 – Formation of a basic WB organizational structure.  

 1:15 to 2:00 – Creating “mentor teams” based upon the WB survey results.  What does everyone offer and what locations does it make sense for them to serve with WB?

2:00 to 2:45 – Prayer for Wisconsin and our assignment(s) going forward.

 2:45 to 3:00 – Closing comments, closing prayer and dismissal.

Make it a priority to join us.  We need your participation to serve city and community leaders across WI until everyone in our state is prayed for, cared for and shared with!
