All students are invited to the Post-Evangelical Meet Up with Prof. Steve Thomason, Sunday, February 19 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. This event will offer a chance for students with experience in evangelical or fundamentalist faith traditions to share their experiences and to unpack together why we have moved away from those traditions and what things we might still cherish from them. The event will be held in person in Gullixson 102 (with free pizza!) and via Zoom (see email for link). Contact Lauren Mildahl (lmildahl001) with questions!

Join us virtually Wednesday February 15 at 12 p.m. CST to play in a battle of wits. You and your team of 4 (you can create teams beforehand or be randomly assigned) will compete in a battle of wits for fabulous prizes—a $5 gift certificate to any national brand of your choosing per winning team player. This is open to all student, staff and faculty. DL, residential, and commuters welcome!

Questions? Contact Natalie (nwussler001@luthersem.edu) or Community Life (communitylife@luthersem.edu).
