A memorial service for Professor Emeritus Paul Martinson ’61 B.D., Luther Seminary’s first holder of the Fredrik A. Schiotz Chair in Christian missions and religions, will take place on Wednesday, November 9, at 2:00 p.m. at St. Anthony Park Lutheran Church.

In this devotion, Wayne Peterson ’81 M.Div. reflects on the congregation as the “house” Jesus is coming to visit. Read today’s God Pause.

Access the chapel livestream here.

Completion of the Boundary Workshop is a requirement for every student in every degree program. You are encouraged to complete this requirement as soon as possible—preferably within your first semester.

This academic year, the Healthy Boundaries Workshop is divided into two parts. Part I is a synchronous training (in person or on Zoom—format indicated in registration form) and Part II is an asynchronous training completed in a Moodle course. Completion of BOTH Part I and Part II are required in order to fulfill the Boundary Workshop requirement. 

Pre-registration is required prior to each workshop. Part I will be offered via Zoom on Monday, October 31, at 2:00 p.m. CST.

This Monday: Calling all spooky ghosts, celebrity look-alikes, and anyone who can “creep it real!” The Luther Seminary Community Facebook page will host the Second Annual Virtual Costume Contest on October 31. Entering is easy! On Halloween post a picture of you, your family, your kids, your roommates, or your pets in their Halloween costume on the Halloween Costume Facebook post. Our “spooookiest” library staff will be the judges and will reveal the three “hallow-queens” later that week. First place prize is a $25 gift card to your favorite national store, second is $20, and third is $10. Can’t wait to see all your “gourd-geous” costumes!
