The close of the 2006-2007 academic
year provides an excellent
opportunity for the members of
Lumen Campus ministry to reflect
on the offerings of this eventful
school year, and to look forward to
new areas of ministry as they look to
the fall semester. The Spring 2007
semester was especially active with
the following events:
- Weekly Worship and Meal— Sunday evenings at 6 p.m. at
Zion Evangelical Lutheran
Church. This term worship was
offered in varying formats,
from Rite II to Taize and
Godspell.
- Winter Leadership Weekend
Retreat— an opportunity to
reflect on one's vocation in
the company of friends at
Camp Tuttle.
- Laundry and Game Nights— Students meet at a local laundromat
to wash a few loads
and play games with their
friends at the same time.
- Engage!— our midweek
Christian education gathering.
Students met weekly at St.
Paul's Episcopal Church for
spirited conversation on current
topics of interest, including:
evolution, fundamentalism,
biblical archeology, feminism,
just war theory, liberation
theology, and even an
evening with the Bishop!
- Virgina Tech Vigil— on April
19 in the Student Union on
campus
- Breakfast Preparation for
Family Promise / SLIHN at St.
Paul's Episcopal Church
- Final Bowling Party to close
the year.
Special thanks to our student
preachers Adam Collier, Jack Patrick
Lewis, and April Hewes.
The Lumen community offers
thanksgiving and Godspeed to seniors
Anna Hathaway and Jack Patrick Lewis. Anna graduated with
a BS in Biology, and hopes to attend
graduate school in the fall at a place
to be determined. Jack (BA in
Middle East and International
Studies) was the recipent of the
College of the Humanities' Young
Alumni Association Outstanding
Senior Award, and will continue his
education at Eden Theological Seminary in order to pursue ordination.
The Rev. Joel Lau is chaplain for
