region 9 retreat

On October 26th ten students from LCM Clemson traveled to Charlotte, NC for the annual Lutheran Student Movement fall service retreat. The retreat was attended by students from Winthrop, Virginia Tech, UNC Chapel Hill, and App State. We started the evening with a Moravian Love Feast, a traditional Moravian worship service where we sang and shared hot cocoa. The next morning, we woke up early and went to our various Habitat for Humanity work sites. We had groups that painted, installed trusses, and volunteered at the habitat for humanity resale store. After a day of work, we returned to the church and listened to a speaker discuss her experience with YAGM. Afterword’s, we discussed the ELCA social statement on a Living wage. The next morning, we worshipped with the congregation during their reformation Sunday service.
