I am away from home, attending a meeting of Project Connect. This is an effort on the part of the Eastern Cluster of seminaries to raise up leaders for the Church. When I travel, it is too easy for me to get out of my routine. This morning’s offering is more a thought that a devotion, but it may be appropriate, given the approach of the end of the school year and graduations.
There are folks here from all across the eastern seaboard. What is pleasing to me are the numbers in attendance who have a connection to Lutheran Campus Ministry-Clemson.
Here is the thought: all of us who enjoy the fellowship and community of LCM-C need to be challenged to realize that the true measure of a great campus ministry experience is how that experience propels us into further service to Christ and the community which bears his name. If these years of attending Wednesday evening meals has been a good experience it should be reflected in an on-going involvement in the Church.
I do understand the difficulty of finding a church home and of fitting in to a community which includes a wider range of persons (I am thinking most of age.) There are hurdles. But these can be overcome.
Maybe this is a message for those who are about to graduate – as you express appreciation for what LCM has been in your life, make a pledge to remain involved in the places to which you will go. Then, we will see that these meals and bible studies and other offerings have been more than entertainment – they have laid the foundation for an active faith, alive in you and alive in the world.
