WHAT'S HAPPENING @LECM
Dear Partner in Ministry,

As the new year arrives, we can't wait to welcome students back to campus and to LECM! We're looking forward to a full semester, grounded in weekly Sunday evening dinner and worship. Students will be preaching in local congregations in early February, reflecting on being the salt of the earth and the light of the world (Matthew 5:13-20). I can't wait to hear their wisdom and reflections on this gospel text!

We give thanks to you in this new year for your prayers and support for our students and young adults. Thank you for being part of this ministry with us!

Grace and peace,
Pr. Monica
Wrapping up 2022!
Students and board members enjoyed a festive Advent end of the year celebration with holiday goodies, crafts, and our annual white elephant gift exchange!

We gathered one last time during finals week for a pancake dinner study break. In the midst of final projects and exams, we paused for good company, good food, and plenty of laughter!
STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
Haylee Hayden '23
I was introduced to LECM by my pastor back home right before the pandemic hit. I was lucky enough to attend for about 5 Sundays before the world shut down. Through everything, LECM has been a constant in my life and I am so thankful I got connected with the group, AND I had
an amazing place to live. Now, living in the house, I feel so incredibly blessed to have a space where I can live with like-minded people in a community that cares so deeply about me. Each Sunday I look forward to dinner and having conversations in a loving and welcoming community. I love being able to connect with other college students in a space that is hard to find.
I would say that my favorite part of LECM is how open and welcoming it is. I have never once felt judged or unsafe in the community. It is truly such a blessing to have been part of LECM for the past 3 years. My college experience would have been so different without the opportunities,
love, and support that LECM has provided to me. I have to also say that having an amazing house to be able to live in at an affordable price has been a HUGE blessing to me. Dorm living was a disaster for me and being able to move into such a wonderful, welcoming space in a price
range I could actually afford gave me the space to feel safe, and welcomed, and that I actually had a home at college. I will be forever thankful and feel blessed with the amazing ministry that is LECM.
