Benediction Lutheran Church in Tsawwassen is hosting a special Love for LUMS service Sunday.
LUMS is the Lutheran Urban Mission Society that operates in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver. The people of LUMS journey daily with the urban poor and marginalized, providing pastoral care, food and resources, and advocacy.
LUMS street priest Rev.
Brian Heinrich will be leading the service.
"What do we do here? We attend those discarded. We listen to the deaf. We mourn with our aboriginal friends in grief. We share hospitality with those often dehumanized. We are convinced that this is worth doing," he says on the LUMS website.
The service is set for 10 a.m. The church is located at 5575-6th Ave., Tsawwassen. All members of the community are invited.
