By Abby Koch–<\/strong>This past Wednesday was the start of Lent for certain\nreligious students on campus. Pastor Andy Nelson stood in the Olson lobby to do\nprayers and imposition of ashes for students. Along with doing prayers, Nelson handed\nout service bingo cards in the hopes of starting a new service tradition on\ncampus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nelson is calling this new service activity \u201cLove Thy\nNeighbor Bingo\u201d which lasts from March 6 to April 21. \u201cThe bingo cards are\ndesigned in a way that you can do things on campus but can still challenge\nyourself with off campus service,\u201d stated Nelson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nelson brainstormed numerous service activities before\nthinking up the bingo cards.  \u201cIt went\nthrough a couple of different iterations like forty days of service and how\nwould that look like to have people do service everyday or set a goal. And so I\nwas inspired by the fact that Morningside students love to play bingo,\u201d\nexplained Nelson. \u201cSo I was thinking what would be a way to break it down to\nmake it a little less daunting than saying \u2018alright do service over the next\nforty days!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students can pick up a bingo card from the campus ministry\noffice or from the stack right outside the office. The bingo card is also\navailable online<\/a>\nwith links to the service projects. Nelson encourages students to check out the\nlinks on the cards for ideas for service or substitutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spaces can be filled with other services than what it says\non the card. The link on the card is a good source of substitutions for\nservices. Nelson explained that he is not picky when it comes to what students\ndo for substitutions as long as it serves the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When bingo is completed in either horizontal, vertical, or\ndiagonal, you can bring the card to Nelson for a prize. Nelson also wants the\ncompleted cards to have a small description of what you did written on the\nback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nelson encourages students to post their service photos to\nsocial media with #MsideServes in the caption with @MsideCampusMin or @MsideServes\ntagged. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
