About Lutheran Student Fellowship
LSF is the national campus ministry of The Lutheran
Church Missouri Synod. Our local chapter is recognized at Texas
A&M University and Blinn College.
The mission of Lutheran Student Fellowship is
to provide a Christian community in which caring, leadership
development, and outreach are emphasized. LSF encourages students
to participate in Bible Study, Worship, Fellowship, Service
and Mission opportunities in order to prepare for a lifestyle
of Christian service that will impact the Texas A&M and
Blinn campuses as well as the world beyond.

Our Worship
Worship services are at 10:45 a.m on Sundays at
University Lutheran Chapel. (We do not have worship when Texas
A&M University is not in session.)
Our worship is Christ-centered, as we believe
that Jesus Christ is present with us through His Word and the
sacraments of the Lord's Supper and Baptism. The Lord’s
Supper is celebrated on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month.
Many aspects of our services are student-led,
including readers, music, and ushers. We encourage participation!
For more information about ULC's worship services
or beliefs, email Pastor Paul Hoemann (ulctamu@verizon.net).

How do Lutherans worship God?
Lutherans typically go to church to worship,
although a person can worship God in any setting. Here
are a few reasons we gather at church on Sundays:
1. To come together with other believers.
When we gather at church, we gather with those who believe
as we do. We share a common confession of faith. We encourage
each other to live lives of joy, peace and love, in Christ.
2. To receive Holy Communion together. When
Jesus was on earth, he initiated a special meal, which
we continue to receive even today. He took ordinary bread
and wine and said that in them, His body and blood are
really present, for the forgiveness of sins. Because we
sin daily, we receive Holy Communion often, so that we
can receive the blessings of this holy meal. It is one
of the sacraments of the church.
3. The other sacrament is Holy Baptism.
Lutherans baptize infants and adults, because the Bible
says that all, including infants, are separated from God
and in need of forgiveness. In baptism, one receives the
gift of faith, the assurance that all sins are forgiven,
and the promise of eternal life in heaven, in the presence
of God.
