Rural Ministry Lunches
On Friday, Feb. 17th (today), after chapel, there will be a gathering of people interested in small town and rural ministry in the Olson Campus Center cafeteria. Look for the tables in the back of the room. There will be a sign to help you find us. If you are interested in or curious about how to learn more about small town and rural ministry, join us for conversation. We will hold another gathering during RFS 2 in a room where we can also have a Zoom link to connect with distributed students who can not attend one of these gatherings. Contact Pr. Jon Anderson janderson008@luthersem.edu or Rural Ministry Fellow Nathan Adu-Gyamfi nadugyamfi001@luthersem.edu.
