In this devotion, Professor Emeritus James L. Boyce ’71 M.Div. prays for inspiration and encouragement to live this and every day in the promise of the resurrection, knowing that in Christ our life belongs to God. Read today’s God Pause.

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

We welcome Tim Coltvet, Director of Contextual Learning, for a service of Holy Communion.

Share your prayer requests.

Come hang out at our very exclusive virtual pop-up coffee shop this Thursday at 8 p.m. CT or Friday at noon CT. Just an hour long, come to chat, share what you’re thankful for this season, or just commiserate with fellow classmates.  Who knows, maybe you’ll run into old friends or make new ones at LC&T!

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.luthersem.edu. 

2) To see the calendar of upcoming events, select “Upcoming Events” under “Luther Seminary Events” in the right sidebar of inside.luthersem.edu. 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.
