This week, members of the LUM Board of Directors made two site visits. They visited the LUM 5th Quarter Summer Learning Program at First Christian Church and the St. John’s/LUM Food Pantry at St. John’s Episcopal Church (both on N 6th Street, Lafayette).
Joe Micon, LUM executive director, led the tour and shared,
“It is important for the LUM Board members to get out and see first hand who we serve, how we serve, and where we serve. Monthly reports are helpful, but visiting a site is more powerful.”
Mark Thomas, president of the LUM Board, who attended the tours stated that
“It was a wonderful day — and an affirmation that the LUM staff are doing great work and as a whole LUM is continuing to have a tremendous impact on the families in our community.”

This past Sunday seven downtown churches participated in Worship in the Streets. The congregations gathered with excitement to share God’s love and to welcome individuals seeking a church home to join them in the future.
Jubilee Christmas Helps to Make the Season Bright.
LUM Jubilee Christmas “Helps Make the Season Bright.” This past Saturday, close to 1,000
volunteers across the county hosted 684 families who were shopping for 1,913 children at 27 different host-sites engaging 31 churches and organizations — It’s LUM Jubilee Christmas!
Our Jubilee Christmas families are wonderful, loving parents — and our caring volunteers are excited to make these parents the “super-heroes” on Christmas morning. Each Jubilee Christmas family also received a ham, food card & homemade Christmas cookies to make Christmas dinner special too.
In addition to the new friendships forged, the highlight of the day is always the surprise visit from Santa Claus.
