Lunch Church x Why Jesus?

This month’s speaker is Jon Anderson, director of rural ministries.

“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.

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

We regret to inform you that the sidewalk leading to the Olson Campus Center west entrance will be temporarily closed Thursday (today) as our consulting team diligently investigates and researches remediation options for water infiltration issues. This measure is part of our commitment to ensuring we maintain and improve our facilities. We appreciate your understanding during this process. Alternative entrances are available.  The favorable weather has provided the opportunity to expeditiously perform the work now, and we anticipate the sidewalk being open Thursday evening. Thank you for your patience as we work towards resolving this matter promptly.

Come hang out at our very exclusive virtual pop-up coffee shop tonight 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!

All students, faculty and staff are invited to help the chapel staff decorate the sanctuary for advent!

We will be decorating this Friday (November 17) at 11:00 a.m. Meet in the Chapel of Incarnation in OCC with your heart in the advent spirit and ready to decorate!

We will celebrate a job well done with a snack, coffee, and fellowship.
