The WELS Student Fellowship at South Dakota State University took advantage of Orientation Day at the university in August. College students and others manned a booth and handed out more than 1,000 Frisbee discs, pencils, or rulers with the www.WhatAboutJesus.com Web site imprinted. This meant that about one in every 12 students at the university received information about this outreach Web site. Those same Frisbee discs and pencils, along with copies of Meditations, were also distributed at the South Dakota State Fair on Labor Day weekend. Names of individuals who wanted more information about WELS were referred to the closest WELS church.
On Aug. 19, Mount Zion, Missoula, Mont., held its third annual Friendship Festival in a local park. The festival consisted of a concert by the Christian band, Koine, a free BBQ, and games and activities for kids. About 115 people attended with about 30 or so visitors.
