Sunday Night is for Dinner & Jesus

*hiatus Dec 15-Jan 13 for winter break

Dinner: 6:00 p.m. to 7:15 p.m.(free) 

Join us for free home-cooked meal  every Sunday at the LuMin St. Louis Campus House.  Our “open table” is filled with laughter, great conversation, friends and visitors from campuses all over St Louis.  Our partner churches provide dinner and dessert most Sundays, or Pastor Tina cooks dinner.

Worship (Jesus) every Sunday: 7:30 pm.

Worship is a casual, inclusive gathering centered around music, readings, Meal, and prayer.  People of ALL faith backgrounds are welcome!  It’s “traditional” enough it feels familiar to cradle Lutherans but “open & creative” enough new friends enjoy our services, too.  Even if you’re just around for the semester—you are very welcome in our community.
