The precious gift of the Gospel is received through Christ's Word and Sacraments. Having received His grace, we are moved toward graciousness toward others, especially the poor, needy and disadvantaged. Members of University Lutheran Chapel are involved in many charitable organizations outside of the chapel as they live out their vocations in daily life. Ocaissionally ULC organizes charitable events or projects so that students have an opportunity to learn about Christian Service through hands-on experience.
