Spring Semester Activities  Thursday, Mar. 18, 7:30pm, Faith & Film Night. "Malls R Us" shows us how shopping malls are the new sacred spaces in which we can experience a secular version of transcendence and communal identity. The documentary is partly based on the book "Shopping Malls and Other Sacred Spaces: Putting God in Place" by Dr. Jon Pahl from the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia.
The movie will be shown at the Bryn Mawr Film Institute, 824 West Lancaster Avenue, Bryn Mawr. Contact the office if you need a ride. To see the trailer, click the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8QV6C8_fHo.

The Brick Testament 
Can the stories in the Bible be illustrated with LEGO blocks? Of course! The only question is why no one thought of this before. Check out The Brick Testament--as reviewed in Rolling Stone. All stories are helpfully rated for nudity, sexual content, violence, and cursing.

Agnus Day 
1 Corinthians 10:1-17 — I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ. Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, and they were struck down in the wilderness. Now these things occurred as examples for us, so that we might not desire evil as they did. Do not become idolaters as some of them did; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and they rose up to play.” We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day. We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did, and were destroyed by serpents. And do not complain as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer. These things happened to them to serve as an example, and they were written down to instruct us, on whom the ends of the ages have come. So if you think you are standing, watch out that you do not fall. No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it. Therefore, my dear friends, flee from the worship of idols. I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread. —Third Sunday in Lent, Series C "Agnus Day" reprinted with permission.

Our Purpose: "LECM is an inclusive, supportive, and safe Christian community at Temple University. We seek to continue Christ's ministry by being socially-engaged, thinking, and missional in the world." - LECM Student Leaders, November 2004 Lutheran Episcopal Campus Ministry is a religious group at Temple University. Students meet on Sunday Nights in the Student Center 217A for a 7:00-9:00 PM fellowship discussion about Christian faith and spirituality. It's a laid back discussion which attracts students from a variety of religious backgrounds. You don't have to be Lutheran or Episcopal to come--just bring an open mind and a willingness to think about Christian faith. Did we mention free pizza is included? At 8:00 PM, we close the day with a quiet evening service. The ministry is more than what happens on Sunday nights. It is student driven. Many students have become close friends through the ministry. Over the course of the semester we do a variety of social events and events on campus. We also take road trips--going on retreats and to local and national conferences designed just for Lutheran and Episcopal college students. In addition, the chaplain is always available to talk for a variety of pastoral concerns (from stress to faith struggles). E-mail him at revgregwilson@verizon.net with any questions. Lutheran Episcopal Campus Ministry is a religious group funded by the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania and the Southeastern Pennsylvania Lutheran Synod. The Rev. Gregory M. Wilson is an Episcopal priest who serves on staff at the Episcopal Diocese.
