Do you do data collection, surveys, or assessments as part of your job? Do you currently use SurveyMonkey? Now there is another option on campus.

Luther Seminary has purchased a limited number of Qualtrics licenses for data collection and analysis. Starting in November, a Qualtrics user group will meet over the lunch hour on the first Thursday of each month. Bring your lunch, your questions, and your current data projects. All are welcome; this is a great way to learn about this tool and see how you might use it in your work.

Qualtrics User Group
Thursday, November 7, Noon
Olson Campus Center, Room 213
Bring your own lunch

Contact Tessa Pinkstaff at tpinkstaff001@luthersem.edu with questions or to be added to the monthly user group meeting invitation.

The series of talks about why Jesus matters , “Why Jesus?” continues today on Reformation Day, Oct. 31st. Our speaker will be Esther Sianipar — an MA student in Children, Youth and Family ministry.

Church is taking many different forms these days. Fabric, formerly Jacob’s Well, has been experimenting with what it means to be church in south Minneapolis since 2006.  Hear how lead pastor, Greg Meyer, describes this ministry: “Fabric is our attempt to be, not have, a church that deals with the real stuff of life and doesn’t play games. My reason for developing Fabric isn’t to make sure everyone believes the right or the same thing, but to provide a community where people can fully engage the most important questions, keep God out of the box, and do life together.” To learn more about Fabric, come and have lunch with Greg on Friday, November 1 from 11:30-12:30 in the cafeteria and/or see their website – https://www.fabricmpls.com/
