Team World Vision Kickoff Event
2024-05-08 19:30 - 21:00 | Verona Coffee Bar
On Wednesday, May 8 at 7:30 pm at Verona we are having an informational session on TWV. We will talk about how to get started, what this team is about and how to fundraise. All who are interested in learning more are welcome! Team World Vision training starts May 13! Training begins with 8 week of foundation building, where you never even actually run! During this time, all trainings are walking and cross training videos. This year there is an option to participate in a 10K in addition to the half and full marathon. We’re looking for 10 new runners to join the team this year – contact Danielle Sill at Danielle.n.sill@gmail.com for more details.

God's Work, Our Hands Sunday
2025-09-07 | Good Shepherd Verona Campus, 7291 County Road PD, Verona, WI, 53593, United States
Help Make Back-to-School Kits for Lutheran World Relief
Education is one of the strongest tools a community has for breaking the cycle of poverty. Ensuring that girls attend school, especially in places where their access is deprioritized, has even stronger results. Lutheran World Relief School Kits contain essential supplies to help children — and in some cases, adults — continue learning in the face of serious obstacles. That learning leads to a better life for them, their families and their communities.
On September 7, which is God’s Hands Our Work Sunday, we will assemble school supply kits at both campuses after worship. At Madison, we’ll meet in Peterson Hall. In Verona, we’ll meet in the fellowship hall on the lower level. Our goal is to assemble 100 kits.

We will begin collecting school supply donations Sunday, August 24th-Sunday, September 7th. You can help by purchasing school supplies, and dropping them off at the collection bins at both campuses.

Donation Needs
We are looking to assemble 100 kits. Here’s a look at what is included in one kit:

FOUR 70-sheet notebooks of wide- or college-ruled paper, approximately 8” x 10 ½”; no loose leaf paper
ONE 30-centimeter ruler, or a ruler with centimeters on one side and inches on the other
ONE pencil sharpener
ONE pair of blunt scissors (safety scissors with embedded steel blades work well)
FIVE unsharpened #2 pencils with erasers; secure together with a rubber band
FIVE black or blue ballpoint pens (no gel ink); secure together with a rubber band
ONE box of 16 or 24 crayons
ONE 2 ½” eraser

If you’re able to buy all or a portion of the contents of one bag, we’d be so grateful.
