A Slower Pace at Holden Village Deepens Community
This year, our community spent Spring Break at Holden Village, focusing on prayer, learning, and building connections. With 20 student attendees, most of whom didn’t know each other well before the trip, the experience offered a chance for deepening friendships and forming new relationships. Over hours on trains, buses, and ferries, and in the tech-free environment at Holden, students were able to get to know one another in a deeper way than they can during Wednesday night fellowship.

LCM Sunday: Connecting with Community
On March 23rd and March 30 LCM-TC held its 9th annual LCM Sunday in 18 metro area congregations. Student preachers worked with Barbara Lundblad, renowned preacher and former LCM board member, to develop their sermons. We are grateful to give students the opportunity to explore preaching while connecting with the wider church and sharing the LCM story. It’s also a nice way for high schoolers to get an inside look into our ministry and consider joining our community when they arrive in college.

Trans Stories are Sacred
At the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, there are over 40 Christian student groups that students can be a part of and yet, only three of them are vocally and unwaveringly affirming of the queer community. LCM-Twin Cities is proud to be one of these ministries and this is simply one way that we embody God’s unconditional love on this campus. In March, along with the other LGBTQIA+ affirming Christian ministries at the U, we co-hosted an event, Trans Stories are Sacred, which celebrated our trans and nonbinary siblings, their stories, and who God created them to be!
