In today’s God Pause, Loren Barker ’84 M.Div. reflects on the ways God patiently keeps on shepherding us. Read today’s God Pause.

You’re invited to a mindful sketching ‘preamble’ to Chapel this morning! No artistic experience or materials are necessary (really!), though if you have any materials you’d like to bring, you are welcome. We will abide in a quiet space together and draw as we prepare for worship.

We’ll meet in the OCC Meditation Chapel (accessible up the stairs behind the altar of the Chapel of the Incarnation or down the long hallway upstairs past the Café) at 10:30 a.m. every Tuesday. Or join on Zoom (see link in Community Announcements email).

Hope to see you there! Please email Katie (kelkin001@luthersem.edu) or Alex (atheshiprosales001@luthersem.edu) with any questions.

We gather at 11:00 a.m. CT in the Chapel of the Incarnation and online for Chapel.

We welcome Nathan Lyke, M.Div. student, for a Service of the Word.

Share your prayer requests.

Join us in the OCC Dining Room

Lunch Church x Why Jesus?
This month’s speaker is Dave McEachron, M.Div. Student

“Why Jesus” is a series of talks designed to help build community here at Luther and to model the practice of Christian testimony. Speakers (faculty, staff, and students) focus on two questions: “Why am I a Christian?” And “What difference does Jesus make in my life?” Lunch is provided.

Zoom is available, see the link in the Community Announcements email.
You can also find previous Why Jesus? talks on Moodle.

We are happy to announce our 15th annual Days of Defense, which will be held via Zoom on Monday, May 1, and Tuesday, May 2, 2023 starting at 8:30 a.m. and ending at 3:30 p.m. Central Time each day. These are the days when students in the M.A. Professional Degree programs—Leadership and Innovation for Ministry, Christian Ministry, and Children, Youth, and Family—present their final capstone projects centered on a current issue in their concentration area.

Topics will be updated as information is available.

Please join us for either or both days of learning. If you have questions, please contact Arlene Flancher, Program Coordinator.

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.
