The Contextual Learning team invites you to a special information session on planning your Luther Seminary internship. Are you wondering when you should do your internship, if you will need to complete an internship, how internships come together at Luther? This is the place to start. Bring your questions!

We’ll meet today, October 4 from 4:30–6 p.m. (Central Time) in Olson Campus Center room 10 AND live online via Zoom at the same time. Zoom link will be provided in the community announcements email. This is the larger classroom on the basement level and there is no need for you to register to attend.

Congratulations to our colleagues celebrating work anniversaries in October!

Start a conversation and ensure your worship practice and environment support the safety and healing of those impacted by traumatic experiences with an upcoming, online workshop from Faith+Lead. 

In Trauma-Informed Worship, you’ll discover postures and practices that support and include everyone, like:

• Healing that empowers more healers
• A new framework for hospitality and solidarity
• Increased participation in the congregation’s commitment to healing
• Understanding how and why worship can be such a trigger to people dealing with trauma

This workshop will be live online on October 22 from 10 a.m.–12 p.m. central. Your sign-up includes the recording with one year of access.

October is cyber security awareness month. Every faculty and staff member has an important role to play in protecting the security of the data kept by the Seminary.

In our digital lives data is at the heart of it. Luther Seminary has been trusted with data on our students, employees, alumni and donors. Your login information provides a key into Luther Seminary and that key needs to be protected. Also, as part of Luther’s Title IV financial aid requirements and insurance requirements employees must complete training twice a year for Luther to be compliant.

This year we have selected a new training provider with current topics and a more engaging delivery. You will see notification emails coming this week will be from notifications@alerts.mycurricula.com which is the training platform. The content should take you less than 30 minutes to complete.

In this devotion, Alan Bray ’84 M.Div. writes about how humility leads to healing. Read today’s God Pause.
