Holy Week – beginning with Palm Sunday – is generally a time for Christian believers to devote themselves to their faith, but this year United Campus Ministry (UCM) Pastor Todd Salmi wanted to commemorate the spirit of the holiday by putting students’ faith in practice.
“I’m always looking for ways for students to practice their faith and to live that out,” Salmi said. “So every year when we come to Holy Week, I think ‘How can we worship in a way that reflects the reality of our lives? How can we meet the needs that are present in the world and where is God calling us?’”
Last year, UCM cooked, served and ate a meal with the local homeless population at the SouthSide Community Center as their act of service.
