Ella Wilson is the 2023 recipient of the Sandra Dunlap Scholarship presented by Christ Lutheran Church, DuBois. She is a daughter of Eric and Kristy Wilson of DuBois and a graduate of DuBois Area High School where she was a member of the National Honor Society, marching band and concert band. She is also a Girl Scout. “This scholarship will help me moving forward to meet my goals,” said Wilson. “It means a lot when someone helps you like this, especially when it comes from someone at church.” Wilson will enter Penn State DuBois for the fall semester and plans to major in psychology,“I’ve always been interested in psychology,” she said, “I want to help people, much like we did on the church mission trips.” Mission trips were important to Wilson, who attended six sponsored by Christ Lutheran, both in and out of state. She also played on the Christ Lutheran volleyball and softball teams and volunteered at one of Christ Lutheran’s continuing missions, and the DuBois Area Food Pantry. The Sandra Dunlap Scholarship was established by the family of Sandy Dunlap (1937-2019). The purpose of this scholarship is to provide financial assistance to one student each year of any age, pursuing post-high school education or training. The scholarship is awarded for one academic year. Consideration for this scholarship is given to all who apply and awarded by a committee, which includes a pastor, members of church council, and members of the congregation. Preference is given to eligible recipients who are confirmed members who regularly attend worship and participate in some way in the wider ministry of Christ Lutheran Church. If no students meet the first preference in a given year, funds may be awarded to any eligible students who are active in Christ Lutheran Church family, then less active students in the church family, and subsequently to even non-members of Christ Church. Applicants must be enrolled in an institution of higher education, beyond high school level; college, university, or technical/vocational school. Donations to the Sandra Dunlap Scholarship are ongoing. They may be sent to Christ Lutheran Church, c/o Sandra Dunlap Scholarship Fund, 875 Sunflower Drive, DuBois, Pa. 15801.

Christ Lutheran Students Attend First Nalc Activity PHOTO: Front from left: Anson Armagost and Drew London. Back from left: Debbie Finalle, Grace Prontock, and Pastor Amy Godshall-Miller. Four 4th through 6th grade students accompanied by Rev. Amy Godshall-Miller of Christ Lutheran Church and Debbie Finalle, recently attended a two-night Lutheran Church Camp. In-Tents Lutheran Church Camp for Elementary Youth is a program of the Mid-Northeast Mission District of the North American Lutheran Church (NALC). St. Thomas Lutheran Church in Hooversville, approximately two hours from DuBois, hosted the camp and provided the tents for the overnight stay. The theme for the event was Isaiah 9:2, "The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light." "There are two camps, for younger and older youth," said Godshall-Miller. "In-Tents is the mission district ministry for youth in the area. Eighteen students from six churches in the district were there at the same time. This was a good opportunity for younger kids and helped to bring congregations together for Christian education and fun." Godshall-Miller said the program remaindered her of Bible school with worship, arts and crafts, music, a camp fire, and a storyteller, who helped the children see themselves in the stories. "The kids had fun and are ready to go back," said Godshall-Miller. The students echoed those sentiments."When I was at camp, we had fun playing Capture the Flag and having water balloon games," said Grace Prontock. "I also learned about the Prodigal Son and made a new best friend. My first time in a tent was a good experience." Drew London and Anson Armagost had both experienced overnight in a tent before in Boy Scouts and shared the enthusiasm for the Capture the Flag game. "Camp was fun and I liked it," said London. "I wanted to go along with the others," said Armagost. "It was fun." Godshall-Miller was impressed by the opportunity. "I got to meet and spend time with the other pastors and leaders," she said. "They were very welcoming to us, a new congregation in the NALC." This was the first youth activity for members of Christ Lutheran in its new denomination, the North American Lutheran Church. Earlier this year, Christ Lutheran completed a year-long process of joining this young, smaller denomination with two nearly unanimous votes of the congregation. The NALC, formed in 2010, strives to be Christ centered, mission driven, traditionally grounded, and congregationally focused. The NALC, and similar denominations newly formed in other Protestant traditions, were created due to the recent breakup of large nationwide denominations established over the last 50 years. The NALC more closely reflects the needs of Christ Lutheran today. Christ Lutheran hopes this is the first of many fruitful experiences in the years ahead in the North American Lutheran Church.
