The LuMin students, board, and I are deeply grateful for the partnership we enjoy with MY home congregation: First English Lutheran Church. I cannot tell you how much it means for me to know you’re including in your intercessory prayers, YOUR Lutheran campus ministry at UT – and that’s even on the Sundays when I and our kids aren’t there! It’s like you really, really support what God is doing in and through us at 2100 San Antonio St.
And you show up, too. We’re grateful whenever you come to help us serve a mass of hungry Longhorn humanity for a Tailgate Tuesday. You know this massive outpouring of Christ’s love through a hamburger doesn’t just magically happen. It happens because you take seriously – beyond the month of September – that feeding hungry college students is God’s work, our hands.
Whenever you include LuMin in your giving and in your serving, you are supporting a Reconciling in Christ Campus Ministry that welcomes all – not just with our lips – but with our hearts, with our Sunday offerings, with our presence, and with our advocacy in the halls of power here in Austin.
So yes! Thank you, indeed, First English Lutheran Church! Thank you for financial gifts, your gifts of presence, and your gift of prayer.
Pr. Brad Fuerst
