What a privilege to be the coordinator at this very special time in the history of London-Lutheran Campus Ministry.
Our visitors at the anniversary reception were from the very first year of the acquisition of our first Luther Campus Centre to the present. How fortunate we are to be able to have such depth of living history in our ministry.
L-LCM took advantage of this occasion to honor all three local congregations which have been so supportive of us, Redeemer Lutheran, St. Ansgar Lutheran and Trinity Lutheran. Our council chairperson Mrs. Carmen Dimetryko presented a keepsake memento to each congregation.
We were also able to present mementos to the Opper and Hulan families for their participation over the last twenty-five years as students, parents of students and as council members at Luther House at various times.
We also made a special presentation to Mrs. Marjory Haywood who was a founding member of the Lutheran Student Association in 1948 and has just recently resigned as a council member here. Her active support of London-Lutheran Campus Ministry over all these years has been a blessing indeed.
Former students, current students and retired and active pastors were also present.
There was an infectious happiness throughout the group all afternoon. Old friends met and chatted. Older folk met with younger folk and there seemed me that there was no age difference between them. Memories were shared amongst us as were the hopes for the future of Lutheran Campus Ministry.
If you missed the event you are still welcome to drop in and say “Hi” whenever you see the “OPEN” sign in the window. This is a student drop-in whether you are new or old. We would love to meet you.
Peace,
Dwight
