We gather online on Mondays from 9-9:50 a.m. central for an online Bible Study looking at Wednesday’s preaching text. Link will be provided in the community announcements email.

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!

Three finalists have been invited on campus and will do a public presentation on October 26, 27, and November 1. The candidates have requested that we hold their names in confidence until the day of the interview. All presentations are scheduled for 12:30–1:30 p.m. in OCC 10. Please come and support the candidates and listen to their presentations. For those who can’t attend in person, Zoom link will be provided in the community announcements email.
