Lutheran Campus Ministries 2010 Spring Break Trip- Chicago!
Loading...
Uploaded by thefirstappearance on Apr 19, 2010
UNC-Chapel Hill's Lutheran Campus Ministries went on a spring break trip to Chicago in March 2010.
We cooked 6.5 gallons of chili and 6+ pans of cornbread to feed over 75 homeless people in Chicago for the Night Ministry program. We also volunteered at two Chicago Youth Centers in the city to work with kids from low-income families every week day.
In addition to service work, we also studied socioeconomic diversity and the role of the church in promoting justice by looking at many different churches throughout the city (rich and poor neighborhoods!). We also went to a Rainbow Push (led by Jesse Jackson) coalition rally in Chicago to learn more about everyday problems residents of the city face.
Of course, we also toured around the city stopping by the Art Institute, Oriental Institute, Chinatown, downtown Chicago, Michigan Ave., Lake Michigan, the Navy Pier and watched a Second City Improv show all while enjoying some delicious Chicago-style deep-dish pizza! We also were able to enjoy the St. Patrick's Day parade and saw the Chicago River dyed bright green.
LCM was lucky enough to have two wonderful guides, alumni of UNC-CH's LCM group, and were able to stay in an apartment in the Youth Center at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Hyde Park (a very diverse, mixed-income neighborhood in Chicago where President Obama's house is!). In addition to staying at the seminary, we also toured the seminary and met many wonderful seminarians who shared their own experiences of the city and life in seminary with us. The Lutheran Theological Seminary is connected to the McCormick Presbyterian Theological Seminary which is the glass building shown in a few of the beginning pictures.
It was so much fun! LCM is an accepting, caring, and loving Christian community providing a home away from home for students from all walks of life.
