Lubbock Christian University (LCU) students, staff, and faculty spent a March afternoon spread out across the city in a community-wide day of service. The day of service marks the third annual LCU for LBK event held in the spring semester, a day where LCU celebrates the Lubbock community through service. It also marks the third year that United Supermarkets has sponsored the event and provided t-shirts for volunteers. 

Volunteers gathered in the LCU campus mall area before spreading out across the city. LCU President Scott McDowell spoke a word of encouragement to them and offered a prayer that students’ hands would imitate the hands of Jesus as they set out for an afternoon of service.

Reagan Branch, LCU Student Involvement Coordinator, was instrumental in pulling together this year's event. She shared, “LCU for LBK is a wonderful model of service and fellowship. I am incredibly grateful for our partnership with the Volunteer Center of Lubbock, as they identify non-profits in our community that would benefit from a day of service. It has been a blessing to see relationships built over the years through LCU for LBK. Students grow closer to faculty and staff as they work and serve side by side, and they often make connections that lead to ongoing service with local non-profits.”
