Why Jesus ? A Spiritual Formation Experiment
Welcome to our new students and new faculty and staff who are recently onboard with Luther Seminary! Welcome back to our returning students!
Thursday Sept 19th after chapel is the first session of Why Jesus? It is our community’s experiment on spiritual formation and story sharing. This event is supported by Aus Memorial Lecture on Evangelism and Spirit Lab. To start off the session, President Robin Steinke will share her story of faith and answering these two key questions: Why are you a Christian? What difference does Jesus make in your life?
Come and join us in Dining Room C from 12:00pm-1:00pm. Soup and bread will be provided.
*Not on campus? The faith stories will be posted in a Special Moodle module where the presenter and other faculty and student hosts will engage in ongoing conversations and story sharing.
Questions? Reach out to Professor Mark Granquist (mgranquist001@luthersem.edu)
Professor Alan Padgett (apadgett@luthersem.edu)
or Spirit Lab (spiritlab@luthersem.edu)
