I Have a Bad Feeling About This(mas)

December 6, 7:30 pm; December 7, 2:00 pm

Join us for an unforgettable evening filled with mayhem, mistletoe, and sketch comedy! This year’s one-acts take you on a whirlwind adventure through the unexpected and absurd realms of speed dating and holiday pandemonium, featuring outrageous characters in hilariously unpredictable situations. Ever wonder how awkward speed dating can get? In Speed Dating and Light Sabers, Kamron Klitgaard cranks up the absurdity, introducing a cast of off-the-wall characters that will leave you in stitches. And it doesn’t stop there! Dive into the festive chaos with Don Zolidis’ Ten Ways to Survive the Holidays, an entertaining romp through navigating the frenzy of the holiday season. From embarrassing family photo shoots to the madness of holiday travel, Zolidis satirizes the relatable–and often ridiculous–pitfalls we encounter. This comical night of sketch comedy promises to deliver a good time and endless laughs!

Tickets ($5 for all attendees) will be sold at the door only, beginning 30 minutes before each show time.

MLC Christmas Concert: For Us and for Our Salvation

Saturday, December 13 – 7:30 pm
Sunday, December 14 – 4:00 pm

Martin Luther College’s highly anticipated Christmas concert will be presented Saturday, December 13, at 7:30 pm and Sunday, December 14, at 4:00 pm in the MLC Chapel of the Christ.

Under the theme For Us and For Our Salvation—drawn from the Nicene Creed and especially fitting as the Christian church commemorates the creed’s 1700th anniversary this year—the program reflects on the profound mystery that the Savior, God from all eternity, took on flesh and became truly human for the redemption of the world.

All are welcome as we rejoice in the hope of Advent and celebrate the Christmas message with this cherished campus tradition!

Can’t make it to the concert? Watch it on our livestream.

“I was really impressed with the 10 young adults from MLC who helped with hurricane cleanup in Panama City. They represented their Savior and their school very well. All of them were self-starters, and every one worked hard . . . not a slacker in the bunch. They were polite and attentive. These future teachers and pastors give me great hope for the future!”

Pastor John Huebner

“DMLC and now MLC will always hold a special place in our hearts. We have seen firsthand many blessings for our families and ministries, and join others in thanksgiving for this special school.”

Connie Scharf

“Martin Luther College is a special place for students to learn how best to serve the Lord with their gifts as public ministers of the gospel.”

“I thank God for the privilege of sitting at the feet of Christian teachers and professors who molded my life so to speak in God’s ways.”

Carol Gronholz

“I know the Lord is smiling on MLC for the work being done to train those who will teach God’s Word to the world. There is no work more important.”

Jack Ulrich

“Reflecting on the quality of education that I received at MLC and the quality of the professors that I had throughout the program, I don’t think I could have found that care and attention anywhere else.”

Gretchen HintzMS Ed 2015, Leadership Emphasis

“I love the fact that everyone is so friendly and genuine at MLC. It amazes me how everyone smiles and says hi even if you’ve only chatted once. The unity of the student body is very apparent to me, and the faith that unifies them is incredible.”
