United Campus Ministries & St. Paul's thank you for a successful night of fun & fund raising. The 3rd Annual Trivia Night raised $800 in support of twelve NIU student missionaries who will donate their ten days of spring break in order to build the "School of the Saints" -- an elementary school which will serve 300 of the most at risk children in Guatemala. We had a wonderful turnout of students, family & friends from NIU & the surrounding communities.

“Sixteen members of our ministry traveled to Guatemala in March of 2009, for a ten-
day spring break mission trip building an elementary school. Our weekly worship
service on Wednesday evenings at 9 PM had an average attendance of forty in both
the spring and fall semesters. We conducted a number of other programming
events during the year including; Thursday movie night, Christian History 101 class,
two trivia nights, 5th Quarter cook-out, numerous hot dog, and hot chocolate
give-aways, two leadership retreats, service projects for NIU Cares day and a soup
kitchen in Chicago. Significant facility renovations were accomplished at the LCM
building-of which UCM staff and members assisted with to a great extent. The
students and staff of UCM are grateful to the St Paul’s family for their emotional,
spiritual and financial support.” Dawn Jones
