Tuesday Chapel: Contemplative Practice [Hybrid]

Posted on October 13, 2026

We gather at 11 a.m. CT in the OCC Meditation Chapel and online (link in email) for contemplative practice of your choice—mindful sketching, centering prayer, or however you choose to engage silence. This week will be facilitated by Steve Thomason. We will read the text and then engage in contemplative practice in silence for 15 minutes. Afterward, you are welcome to sit in fellowship or go about your day. Text is Exodus 16:1-15. Share your prayer requests.

“Brake Bread” Community Gathering [In-Person]

Posted on October 13, 2026

Join us for our second “Brake Bread” event on Tuesday, October 13 at 11:30 a.m. by the oak trees in front of Bockman Hall. We will be learning about forest bathing with David Motzenbecker and about the seminary’s landscape with Caleb Rollins, our seminary archivist. Wear a jacket if the weather is a bit cooler and rainy. If it is raining hard, we’ll go inside, but we’ll strive to be outside with the trees. Also, this is a phone-free event—please do not bring your phones. After the outdoor portion is over, we’ll head into Bockman 116 to “Brake Bread” and share further conversation. We look forward to seeing you there! “Brake Bread” events are brief monthly gatherings where we learn about some of the unnoticed and significant pieces of our communal past, present, future and break bread together. Note that “Brake Bread” events are not a lunch but a light serving of bread and pastries. Please bring a lunch if you would like to add more to your plate. If you have questions about these events, contact: Mary Hess (mhess@luthersem.edu), Caleb Rollins (crollins001@luthersem.edu), or Emily Rova-Hegener (erovahegener001@luthersem.edu).
