“Adopt” a Duke Lutheran and Share the Love! | Adopt a Duke Lutheran “parent” Marilyn Bell once wrote about the Adopt a Duke Lutheran ministry, “Matching students while they’re away from their homes and families with church members is an extension of St. Paul’s mission to share God in Christ with the world and one another through service, support, and learning.”
Indeed. Whenever Marilyn and her husband Larry shared a meal with their “adopted” Duke Lutheran Jovita Byemerwa, or sent her a card, or prayed for her, they also shared God’s love in Christ with her and she with them. Click here to read the entire announcement and consider adopting a student!
Sign Up to Serve a Sunday Night Dinner for Duke Lutherans | We invite you to help nourish the Duke Lutherans’ spirits and bodies by serving a dinner one night this fall semester. If you’ve never joined us before, we’d love to have you! You provide the food; we provide everything else (beverages, plates, utensils) and the hungry appetites! We usually have between 15-20 students. Please also provide one main vegetarian dish. The students like fresh fruit and veggies too and LOVE dessert! Arrive at the Duke Lutherans Center by 5:15 so that we can help unpack the food in time for you to join us for worship. Evening Prayer begins at 5:30, followed by dinner at 6:30. (Tip: crockpot meals are a great choice because they'll help to keep the food warm while we worship.) Sign-up here and thank you for sharing in this ministry of grace for our beloved students!
