Martin Luther
College
A Place To Grow
The mission of Martin Luther College is to train a corps of Christian witnesses who are qualified to meet the ministry needs of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod.
These eight Holy Week devotions lead us deeper into the truths of Jesus’ love for us through the poetry, imagery, and music of Lent and Easter hymns. Links embedded in the devotions will allow you to hear the hymns performed for you by MLC College Choir, College Chorale, Women’s Choir, Männerchor, Wind Symphony, Hosanna Ringers, and Professor Craig Hirschmann on the organ.
Because of the hymn recordings, we are offering this series online only, but in several formats: read them online, download the series as a PDF, listen to podcasts online, or request that we send them to your personal email on a daily basis, March 28-April 4. All materials will be available on March 17 here.
Equipping Christian Witnesses is a campaign that gratefully recognizes 150+ years of ministerial training in our synod and at Martin Luther College. The title, “Equipping Christian Witnesses,” reflects not only the mission of MLC—to train a corps of Christian witnesses to meet WELS ministry needs—but also the pillars of this campaign: recruitment, financial aid, and facilities.

We make this plan as trusting children of God, whose whole lives and eternity securely rest in God because of his giving and forgiving love to us in Jesus, his eternal Son and our brother. This truth guards us from planning in fear as if the virus, not our gracious God, were in control!
