In this time of the COVID-19 pandemic, the very ways we do ministry, congregate, and be church together are changing. For many of you serving in ministry in a congregation, in CPE, in a residency, or on internship, you are seeing these changes first hand. Prayers of peace to each of you in these times.

Contextual Learning wanted to share with you some resources we have found as you think about ways to offer spiritual care virtually.

If you have additional resources you are building in your toolbox or if you have found helpful tools, please email Ashley (awheeler002@luthersem.edu) to share!

ACPE has put out a call for spiritual care providers in this time of crisis. You can volunteer by filling out a form here: https://form.jotform.com/clarkacpe/telechaplaincy-volunteer-form.

Students who still need additional clinical hours to complete their CPE unit are encouraged to sign up.

If your CPE unit was stopped or canceled, or if you are trying to figure out how to complete your additional clinical hours, please email Ashley Wheeler, awheeler002@luthersem.edu.

Join us for Yoga: Gentle Flow led by Ashley Wheeler at 2 p.m. (CST) every Friday. Come as you are. Unroll your mat in your living room, and we will take some deep breaths together. Join here:
