This semester, join Spirit Lab and the Aus Memorial Lecture Fund for an experiment in Christian formation.

Every Wednesday after chapel, starting on February 20 with Professor Lois Malcolm, hear faculty, staff, and students share their stories of faith as they answer two key questions: Why are you a Christian? What difference does Jesus make in your life?

Afterward, you’ll have the opportunity to reflect on your own experiences of faith (and share it with others, if you so desire!).

If you’re on campus, plan on coming to the Auxiliary Dining Room from 12:00-1:00 each Wednesday–lunch is provided.

If you’re a distributed learner or unable to make it on Wednesdays, the faith stories will be posted in a special Moodle module where the presenter and other faculty and student hosts will engage in ongoing conversation and story sharing.

Interested? Fill out this form to let us know you’d like to participate so that we can plan for catering and Moodle set-up: https://goo.gl/forms/fVX0tV7eAGEv1pw33

As part of Teach For America – Twin Cities’ 10th Anniversary in the region, they are bringing best-selling author Dr. Robin DiAngelo to the Twin Cities on Friday, March 15, 2019, to speak to the community about her ground-breaking book, “White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard For White People To Talk About Racism.” The New York Times best-seller is creating buzz across the nation and is encouraging people to reexamine their approach to racism. This is a vital conversation in seeking truth and reflects Teach For America’s values around racial and educational equity. Register on this form to attend the talk!
