May 27 is Pentecost Sunday.
Prayer of the Day for Pentecost:
Mighty God, you breath life into our bones, and your Spirit brings truth into the world...
Last week, like many of you, I listened on the radio as National Public Radio completed its annual spring pledge drive. I laughed at Alec Baldwin's jokes berating non-pledgers for being slouchers and sub-human moochers of good radio, which they should gladly pay for. I was glad that Stephanie and I are long-time supporters of public radio.
Well, its also "pledge" time for Lutheran Campus Ministry. Our annual spring appeal letter just went out last week inviting those who are connected with LCM to make a donation. Some of you are on that mailing list and some are not. What I have noticed over the years is that the old mailing list approach to fundraising isn't as effective as it used to be. So, here is a new approach: You can click on the link below and make a donation to LCM on PayPal, or you can do it the old way and send us a check (made out to Lutheran Campus Ministry) at the address below. Either way, your donation is much appreciated!
Pentecost is often called the birthday of the church. I think we are living in another age of Pentecost when God is pouring out the Holy Spirit in new ways. The old forms and ways of being church may not hold much longer (You cannot put new wine into old wine skins). But, LCM has and continues to be on the forefront of discovering what the church is called to be in the 21st century. Why not celebrate the church's birthday with a gift to LCM?
Thank you for being part of this great ministry! Joy and peace~
