__________________________________________________________

Each spring, it has been a long-standing tradition to unite the Northwestern Community for a day of prayer and service. In recent years, we expanded this emphasis on prayer and service over the course of a whole week, with the purpose of fostering a lifestyle of corporate prayer and service. 

This spring, the Week of Prayer and Service (WPS) is happening April 24-28. Thursday, April 27th is a special day set aside with no classes, in order for staff, faculty, and students to devote the day to praying and serving together. We are excited to announce plans for this cherished week.

Among other service opportunities on Thursday, April 27th, Northwestern will be partnering with the organization, Jesus Food to host a large-scale food packing day right here on campus in the Erickson Gym! Be sure and check out all the meal packing times and other service opportunities. And gather your friends, classmates, teammates, roommates, or colleagues and plan to sign up.  

Registrations are open! Click HERE.

More information about The Week of Prayer and Service, including planned prayer activities and resources will be coming soon.  In the meantime, if you have any questions, please email wps@unwsp.edu 

We are so grateful to be partnered together for God’s Kingdom here at Northwestern and we look forward to all the Lord will do in and through the Week of Prayer and Service 2023! 

With expectancy,
