Information Session for Travel Course in the Holy Land
Do you want more information about the travel course that I will be leading in the Holy Land during Winter Term 2024? Join me (Prof. Skinner) for an information session on Zoom: Tuesday May 2, beginning at 7 p.m. CT. You’ll receive more information about the course, the requirements for earning academic credit, the trip and itinerary, and the registration process (which will occur much before normal course registration for Winter Term). Be the first to learn some of that information. There will be time to have your questions answered, too. I expect the information will last a total of 30-45 minutes, depending on how many questions people have.
I’ll announce the Zoom link here, in the seminary’s Community Announcements, on the morning of May 2.
I’ll record the session, so if you are unable to attend but still want information, send me an email (mskinner@luthersem.edu) and I’ll send you a link to the recording soon after the session.
The travel dates will be January 28 through February 8, 2024. If you haven’t seen previous announcements about this travel course, you can find more information in the most recent post I put in the Community Announcements back on April 11.

Beloved Coffee Hour
In the spirit of a Beloved Community all are welcome to attend a coffee hour gathering at Luther OCC Coffee Area on May 16, 2023, 8:30 – 10:30 a.m. The purpose is to provide a safe space for fellowship with community members who will also participate in table talk discussion, image reflection, conversation and light refreshments.
A beloved community is a welcoming community that is filled with compassion, acceptance, and freedom. “Put on therefore, as God’s elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering; 13 forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as [a]the Lord forgave you, so also do ye” (Colossians 3:12-13).
