Agnus Day
Luke 12:13-21 — Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.” But he said to him, “Friend, who set me to be a judge or arbitrator over you?” And he said to them, “Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” Then he told them a parable: “The land of a rich man produced abundantly. And he thought to himself, ‘What should I do, for I have no place to store my crops?’ Then he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, ‘Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.’ But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life is being demanded of you. And the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ So it is with those who store up treasures for themselves but are not rich toward God.”

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.
