All Saints celebrates the baptized people of God, living and dead, who are the body of Christ. As November heralds the dying of the landscape in many northern regions, the readings and liturgy call us to remember all who have died in Christ and whose baptism is complete. We will gather as a community to observe All Saints on:

• Tuesday, November 1 at 11 a.m. outdoors in the Garden of the Resurrection 
• Wednesday, November 2 at 11 a.m. in the Chapel of the Incarnation

Please fill out this form to include the names of people who have died in the past year that we can offer in our Wednesday liturgy.

Join us in the lounge in Bockman Hall on Thursday, November 3rd at 3pm for a Mindful Sketching Session. No drawing skills are required. Dr. Thomason will guide the group in an exercise that uses simple sketching techniques to become fully present in the moment. This is an excellent form of contemplation and relaxation.

Bring a sketchbook (any form of paper works) and a writing utensil (pen, pencil, paints, whatever you use to make marks).

You can join the Google Space to keep in touch with other Mindful Sketchers.

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.

The Employee Engagement Committee invites faculty and staff to join us for a Gratitude Gathering over the lunch hour on Tuesday, November 8 after chapel until 1:00 p.m. This progressive lunch will give you a chance to visit the spaces of some of our colleagues and enjoy a pre-Thanksgiving lunch together.

RSVP by replying to the Google calendar invitation where additional details are provided.

The latest episode of the Liturgy of the Hours podcast is live! This 15-minute service of music and prayer owes its structure to the ancient practice of Mid-Day Prayer, and its theme is Reformation Day. During this season of change and reforming in nature, you’re invited to look honestly at your life. Where do you find Jesus? Where don’t you? This service of Mid-Day Prayer offers gentle urgency and strong encouragement: the sun has not yet set. There’s still time to turn, return, and reform. Listen here.
