Join us in the OCC Dining Room

11:00 a.m. CT Thursday, April 27th
Lunch Church x Why Jesus?

This month’s speaker is Dave McEachron, MDiv 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 Community Announcements email.

You can also find the previous Why Jesus? talks on Moodle.
