In this devotion, Hal Dragseth ’71 M.Div. prays that we remain ever watchful for God’s movement in the world. Read today’s God Pause.

We gather at 11:00 a.m. CT in the OCC Dining Room for Lunch Church.

Speaker: International Students for Agape Feast!

Free lunch is available! We kindly request that you bring a favorite side dish from your own cultural tradition to share with the Luther community. This potluck-style event allows us to enjoy a delicious variety of dishes that represent the rich tapestry of our backgrounds. Your presence will make this event truly special. See you at the Global Agape Feast!

Share your prayer requests.

Professor Cody Sanders and Seminary Pastor Jeni Grangaard are offering a Grief Group during the fall semester. The group is available to the whole Luther community: students, staff, and faculty. The group is available to all who are experiencing grief—old or new—and want to talk with others. 

We gather for Grief Group on Zoom at 4:30–5:30 p.m. Central Time today, November 9.

Please share your interest in the Grief Group on this form.

As of Monday, November 20, we are integrating the Luther Seminary Community Google calendar and the meeting/events scheduling process into Coursedog, which already houses the course catalog. This change will make it easier for faculty, staff, and students to schedule a meeting or event, reserve space and tech, put an event on the seminary calendar, and see upcoming events at a glance—all in one place.

How will it work?

1) To schedule a meeting or event, reserve a conference room, request tech support for a meeting or event, or put an event on the seminary calendar, select “Event Request” under “Luther Seminary Events” in the right sidebar of Inside Luther. 

2) To see the calendar of upcoming events, select “Upcoming Events” under “Luther Seminary Events” in the right sidebar of Inside Luther. The Luther Seminary Community Google calendar will be retired as of November 20. 

3) To promote your upcoming event to the seminary community, please continue to submit community announcements as usual. However, there will no longer be an option on the form to “submit this event to the community calendar.” You will need to create the event request separately by following the process above. Submitting a community announcement will NOT put your event on the seminary calendar as of November 20.

Need help? Please review this guide to event scheduling or follow along with this video tutorial. Operations/IT staff will also be available to answer questions at a future All Hands meeting and an upcoming Lunch and Learn.

If you need additional assistance, please reach out to helpdesk@luthersem.edu.

Are you using or interested in surveys and/or using Qualtrics? Come join us for our monthly meeting via Zoom today from 12–1 p.m. Please bring questions or share what projects you are working on! We will begin by discussing the first “Pocket Survey” we conducted.
