Please get all your event and meeting requests for the first week of January in by 4 p.m. on Thursday, December 21. Requests made between December 23–January 2 will responded to when we return to campus.

During our January Intensives (1/9-21) response to event bookings will be slower than normal. If you need response sooner than 3 business days, please self-service and visit the EMS calendar to check rooms for availability. Thank you for your patience during this busy time!

In this Advent devotion, Jessi LeClear Vachta ’14 M.A. writes about encountering God in the beauty of a snowy night. Read today’s God Pause.

Wrapping up the last of your finals for the semester? Need dinner and some company? Join Pastor Jeni and the chapel staff in the OCC cafe today from 5:30-8 p.m. We will be bringing in pizza from Pizza Luce, with vegan options included.

Please join us tomorrow at 12:00 noon for lunch in the OCC Dining Room along with Christmas treats!

The Employee Engagement Team invites students, faculty and staff to gather over Coffee, Tea, or Hot Cocoa with a side of your favorite Christmas treat. Please bring along one or two dozen of your favorite treats to make this time of year and drop them in OCC Dining Room between 10–noon on Wednesday, December 14. Please feel free to come and go as you can between 12:00–1:30 p.m. as we gather before our Christmas/New Year Break. 

We want to thank you all for your flexibility with the time changes. We wanted to find the best time so that everyone could come and enjoy the event. We hope to see you there!

If you have questions feel free to contact an EET member: Jon Anderson, Carrie Johnson, Sianeh Miller-Crusoe, Grace Pomroy, or Alison Roberts.

Please join us in the Luther Library for a holiday open house, Wednesday, December 14, from 10 a.m. to noon; there will be snacks and holiday cheer for all and sundry. As a special treat, The Luther Seminary Players will present a light-hearted retelling of the Christmas story; think of it as an homage to those church Christmas pageants of old with shepherds wearing bathrobes and angels with halos askew. This is an audience participation event so we encourage as many as are able to attend—remember, the more the merrier—the program will start around 10:45 a.m.
