Nebraska Lutherans for Life Essay Contest
Nebraska Lutherans for Life would like to invite students in grades 6-12 who are members of a Lutheran congregation or attend a Lutheran school in Nebraska to participate in this year’s Lutherans for Life Essay Contest, based on the 2025 Conference theme: Fearfully and Wonderfully Made with the Bible verse: “For You formed my inward parts; You knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are Your works; my soul knows it very well.” Psalm 139:13-14.
One winner will be selected for grades 6-8 and one for grades 9-12. Winning entries (one from Grades 6-8 and one from Grades 9-12) will be awarded $100 each. The winning Nebraska essays will be entered in the national contest. Grand Prize for the national winning entry at each level will be $250 plus free conference registration to the 2025 National Conference and one night at a conference hotel. Second place national winners at each level will receive a $125 prize.
Essays should, of course, be the students’ individual, original work, but pastors, teachers, and parents are encouraged to discuss the criteria on which the essays will be judged. The same criteria will be used at both the state and national levels. Please request a copy of the rules and judging criteria from Bob Saeger, Nebraska LFL president, at [email protected]. Entries must be submitted electronically by March 15, 2025.

You are invited to the movie “Unthinkable” on Friday, Feb. 21 at 7pm in the chapel at Weller Hall, Concordia University, Seward. Sponsored by Seward Area Lutherans for Life.
The movie, directed by Abby Johnson (a former Planned Parenthood clinic director who is now stridently pro-life), is a “shocking expose of the abortion industry’s dirtiest secrets,” told by dozens of former abortion clinic workers.
See the trailer at www.unthinkabledoc.com to get an idea of what the film is about. Because of its content, this documentary may not be appropriate for children under the age of 13.
Admittance is $2/person or a package of diapers or wipes, to be donated to a local pregnancy resource center.
