Greetings All,
The streets surrounding campus were strangely empty as I came in to church this morning. No more moving vans or family cars double parked being packed with belongings. The number of pedestrians (especially under the age of 25) was drastically reduced. It's a welcome change from the chaos of Tuesdays at UniLu (especially when there's a full moon like yesterday)

Greetings!
Included in this week's newsletter is information regarding giving opportunities for those able to help those recovering from natural disasters. Some of you prefer to make your gifts for this through UniLu, or choose not to use a credit card (or perhaps don't have a credit card). We are happy to accept such gifts on your behalf and forward them along to Lutheran Disaster Relief. In order for your gifts to be routed appropriately, please clearly mark your check or use one of the offering envelopes available in the pew racks with an appropriate designation. Acknowledgement of such gifts will be part of your regular UniLu giving statement, and will not come separately from Lutheran Disaster Relief.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Peace,
Charlie
