A reminder that Luther Seminary is closed December 21-January 1 for the Christmas holiday. During this period, no community announcements will be sent. Have a safe and joyous holiday, and happy new year!

Join the St. Paul Interfaith Network, and Professor Mary Hess on January 8th at 11:30 am, as we welcome a panel of distinguished local educators from a range of faith traditions to explore how to support vibrant, grounded, and welcoming faith formation in a multi-faith world.

Pr. Jane Buckley-Farlee (Christian), Dr. Jeffrey Schein (Jewish), Dr. Ned Mohan (Hindu) and Nadifa Osman (Muslim) will share briefly, and then participate in an interactive discussion. This is a free event, open to the public — we welcome all to this space! We will begin at 11:30 am in OCC 10, please feel free to bring your lunch down with you.

A few of us DL students are partnering with Spirit Lab to bring you online spirituality and discernment sessions, and we want your input to make sure that we offer sessions that you’ll find beneficial.

Please fill out this 2-minute survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VBK3HTQ
(We shared this survey on FB previously and are sharing here too in case you missed it).

Blessings to you all!

Hello Luther!

In order to best serve the community in 2019, Community Life wants to hear which events you would be interested in attending. Please fill out this questionnaire and specify whether you’ll be on campus during the spring semester, June term or both.

We appreciate any and all suggestions for events. Even more, if you’re interested in a very specific event, we’d love to support you in hosting it. If interested in hosting, please leave your contact information on the form.

If you have any input regarding worship events, the Office of the Seminary Pastor or Spirit Lab would be the appropriate folks to chat with about those ideas!

Thank you all for a wonderful fall semester, and we can’t wait to see everyone come January!
