Dear Luther Community,

With apologies, we note that we will not be able to livestream this event. We will livestream chapel on Wednesday, November 2 at 11 a.m. central as we remember the saints who have perished in the past year.

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.

DL students: Our Pubs and Profs signups will go live today at 5 p.m. CST. If you are interested in going, sign up as soon as possible. We will also have a waitlist. Check the Community Life Facebook group for more information.

Join us in the lounge in Bockman Hall on Thursday, November 3 at 3 p.m. 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.

Everyone is invited to lunch church this Thursday, November 3 at 11 a.m., OCC Dining Room. During this week of celebrating the communion of Saints, we invite you to bring a photo or a memento of a Saint in your faith and life who is now part of the Communion of Saints Eternal. This will be a sacred time for you to remember and share with others about the way God worked through this person to form a part of your life in faith.

You are also welcome to join us online. A Zoom link will be provided on Thursday.
