Meal Train® for Lutheran Campus Ministry at Northwestern University

LCMNU has a weekly "Supper Worship" on Wednesdays at 6-6:45pm, and we are looking for volunteers to provide meals for students. Supper Worship is a worship service that begins with gathering around the table at 6pm for our table prayer; sharing in the meal (served buffet style) and fellowship from 6-6:3 pm; then, at 6:30-6:45 pm, we have a brief evening prayer service right at the table. Currently, 16-20 students are attending, but you can always check ahead of time on the number. You also can join in Supper Worship. Thank you in advance for providing a community meal.

With gratitude, Pastor Deanna

SPECIAL NOTICE: TEMPORARY "PAUSE" ON DONATIONS for Migrants/Refugees EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

"Because of the incredible generosity of the Evanston community we need to pause donation drop-offs (for migrants/refugees in the City of Chicago) until further notice while we sort through what has come in," said Chris Djuric, Coordinator. Chi Welcome, the volunteer entity who has been picking up and distributing items, needs time to realign their distribution network, too.

Please tell your family and friends about this temporary pause, and to hold off on bringing donations to the church. The goal is to resume collection after the Thanksgiving holiday.
