The Virtual Variety Show

Posted on March 24, 2021

The time has come once again to dust off your old joke book, bribe your kids to do a dance with you, and get in touch with your wacky side.

That’s right, the Luther Seminary Variety Show is back, friends … and it’s virtual.

At 7 p.m. Central May 7 we will gather on Zoom to watch our fellow community members show us what they’re made of, which is bound to lead to fun and hilarity! All acts will be pre-recorded, so even the performers will get the chance to just kick back and take it all in.

But in order for this to happen, we need all y’all to send us some variety.

No talent required! Do a dramatic reading, lip sync your favorite song, show off your pet’s tricks, do a wacky skit with your family. The possibilities are endless, but the time isn’t; please limit your video submissions to three minutes.

The deadline for submissions is May 3. Sign up on this Google Sheet for more information on submissions and the link to the Google Folder where submissions should be uploaded.

If you have any questions, please email communitylife@luthersem.edu.

Chapel Podcast: The Liturgy of the Hours

Posted on March 23, 2021

We move closer to the heart of the season: Jesus and his cross. As Sufjan Stevens sings: “There is no shade in the shadow of the cross.” The cross is where suffering is revealed … and then refracted to healing. We acknowledge brokenness. Of the environment. Of human relationships. Of deep-seated hatred.

In our prayer we cry to God: Do not leave us in the depths of our sin–separation, brokenness, pain, but give to us the fullness of your redeeming grace. A grace that turns us outwards to heal, mend, and love.

Nate Crary and Luther Seminary student Hannah Sackett lead this week’s episode of the Liturgy of the Hours.
