In this edition of Wes's Weekly Wrap-Up video, Wes corrects a misconception about something Jesus once said about the poor.

Join us for Empty Bowls, a special community event supporting Lafayette Urban Ministry. In partnership with the Greater Lafayette Clay Guild, guests will enjoy beautiful handcrafted pottery while helping support LUM programs that provide food, shelter, and financial assistance.

Join us Wednesday, October 28, between 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Duncan Hall. The cost is $35 and includes a delicious lunch provided by Buttery Shelf and a beautiful handcrafted bowl donated by the Greater Lafayette Clay Guild.

Each bowl is a reminder that no one should face hardship alone. Together, we can fill empty bowls and bring hope to our community.

Donor & Volunteer Appreciation Night was a wonderful evening filled with gratitude! We are grateful to everyone who joined us and to the donors and volunteers who make it possible for LUM to be a lifeline of help and hope for our neighbors. Your generosity, time, and dedication make a lasting difference in the lives of individuals and families throughout our community.

A special thank you to Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette for generously hosting us. We are also grateful to Becky and Betsy for providing the delicious food. And what a treat it was to see The Mousetrap! The production was wonderful and provided a fun and memorable night. Thank you to our donors, volunteers, partners, and friends for being part of the LUM family.
