What for more photos of the Community Garden “spouting up” in the coming weeks. Donations of dirt and tilling of the area by the local constructions crew is most gracious. Lori Zurcher has been working hard and is most thankful for these donations. There will be more pictures plus information about how you can help bringi items for the compost. Feel like getting your hands dirty? Please see Lori Zurcher how you might be able to help.

Working hard on work day. Take a peek at the new planting on the north east corner of the Campus Center. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard.

What water stains? The roof is now fix, the water stains on the interior have been fixed. What an amazing transformation! Thanks to David Anderson and Terry Anderson [no relation].

Students: A Busy April

April 16, 2019

In addition to twice weekly worship, dinners, and Bible Studies, students had a busy April. They went to a Phoenix Rising Soccer game, hosted an Imam from the Tempe Mosque, and speakers from the LDS campus ministry. The last Sunday in March saw students and congregational members gather together for lunch after worship, and the last Sunday in April saw the same as the students provided a “Thank you Bar B Que” after worship. Oh yes, and then there were finals…..

Thanks to all who support LCM and to those who provide meals for students, scholarships for student retreats, etc!!

Student of the Month – Nic Peters

March 4, 2019

Name: Nic Peters

Grade: Freshman
Hometown: Mesa, AZ

Tell us about yourself: I’m a Biomedical Engineering major who also plays the drums and the cello. I love being involved with scouting (I’m an Eagle scout), and robotics at my old high school (I mentor). I love to fill my schedule up with as many events as possible, I love keeping busy, but that keeps me going!

Why ASU: I didn’t choose ASU because both of my parents went here. I chose ASU because it is a great school that was well known for it’s engineering program, and they gave me scholarships. I also have a few friends that went to ASU with me from my old schools.

Tell us about ULC/LCM: LCM is a place where I can be myself. I find that in the college environment, God and religion gets pushed to the wayside or ends up feeling fake and forced by some clubs. LCM is a place where I can feel God’s presence in the services we do and in the smiles of everyone in the ministry. I love theology, and LCM is a great place to discuss theology at bible study or around the dinner table. I appreciate the comradery and friendship that makes LCM feel like home. Also, they let me play the drums every Wednesday and I have a ton of fun with that!

Special Interests: Music, Theology, Skateboarding, Robotics, Volunteering at STEM events, Camping (the outdoors in general), and skiing to name a few.

Best part of the school year so far: I love the time right after all the midterms that I have (because they all seem to line up on top of each other), when I can breath and relax with not much homework and no hard material.
