Hello Spring! We've Got Talent & More
Wes's Weekly Wrap Up - Women Leading the Way
In this edition of Wes's Weekly Wrap Up, Wes Tillett, LUM executive director, honors and thanks all of the women who lead and serve, especially those working with LUM. Please take 53 seconds to watch the video and SHARE with others.
In the spirit of Women’s History Month (March), LUM is celebrating the Women of LUM. Today LUM puts a spotlight on eight women who currently lead a local church or religious community that is also a member of the LUM Board of Directors.
Women leaders have been an important part of the formation and growth of Lafayette Urban Ministry since the late 1950s. The difference today is that these women by virtue of their positions within their church have the authority to make real change in our community. Join us in honoring these women religious leaders and ALL of the other women who have leadership roles in LUM Member Churches, by saying their names:
Dr. Karen Atcheson
Rev. Jennie Barrington
Rev. Dr. Hilary Cooke
Rev. Pamela Jones-Horne
Rev. Elizabeth Lee
Rev. Tracey Leslie
Rev. Dr. Gladys Nwabah
Rev. SJ Winter
LUM is lucky to have leaders with their insight, passion, expertise, and experience engaged at LUM.

The LUM Emergency Shelter is always in need of your time and assistance. For 39 years, Lafayette Urban Ministry has offered a safe & warm place to rest for those who have become houseless. Shelter volunteers are needed year-round, each evening, every season. Hours are flexible. Very little training is needed. Your time (and smile) is valuable, but you would be making a tremendous positive impact by sharing it with others. Think about committing to volunteer once a month all year. Not only will you be helping LUM operate the shelter but you will also be giving joy, hope, and a smile to others who need it the most.
