Frequently Asked Questions
What is WIYLDE? WIYLDE (Wholly Iowa Youth Leadership and Discipling
Event) is designed for youth, grades 9-12. It is a youth ministry leadership
workshop. It is an opportunity for young people to grow in their own faith
and take that back to their home congregations to provide leadership in
the youth ministry program. Each participant will learn:
- How to help plan and lead worship
- How to lead a Bible study
- Where to find youth ministry materials
- How to help organize youth events
This is the fourth year for WIYLDE and we will have several third year
students back who will provide peer leadership for the first and second
year students.
How do I register? Your pastor or youth leader will have registration
forms on hand in spring 04. Our office will also have forms which may
be obtained by contacting Connie Barclay, Vocation Program Secretary,
at (563) 387-1327 or barcco01@luther.edu.
What is the registration fee? The fee is only $99 this year. Luther
College's "Sense of Vocation" program is underwriting WIYLDE
this year. We have suggested to pastors that the church pay $50 and the
participant $49, but that is optional. Contact your pastor about what
help the church might be able to provide.
What should I bring? The weather will be warm so bring clothing
appropriate for that. Please be careful, however, that clothing is appropriate
for a church environment. A swim suit is a must, as well as some grubbies
that you don't mind getting dirty. Old tennis shoes for tubing down the
river are good, too. We will have one or two dress up occasions so bring
something you would wear to church. A little spending money for Whippy
Dip runs or souvenirs is helpful but all your meals are provided. Bring
your Bible, too, for, after all, this is a church related event! WIYLDE
participants suggest bringing an extra blanket because the dorm can be
cold.
What happens in an emergency? Luther College provides security
24 hours a day so if there are any problems, help is available. Counselors
should be contacted immediately. Also, there are dorm personnel on duty
for help as needed. Parents, if you need to get ahold of your student
during the day, call Connie Barclay in the College Ministries Office at
(563) 387-1327. Otherwise, all calls during the evening and night should
be directed to (563) 387-2000. There are phone cards for sale in the Luther
Book Shop if participants need access to long distance service.
