The Art of Prayer – Prayer beyond Words
Join Professor Thomason today—Thursday, June 27—at 11:00am CST. Sometimes there are no words for what and how we need to pray. Paul tells us in Romans that the Holy Spirit intercedes for us in groans that we cannot understand. Join this livestream as we conclude our June Journey in the Art of Prayer by exploring how contemplative art can be an excellent form of prayer beyond words. Learn more on the Art of Prayer page and join the session live on YouTube.
Living the Story: Moving from Membership to Discipleship
Ever wonder how you can help your congregation or faith community foster a culture of discipleship—where faith is an active, daily part of life for everyone? Join Dwight Zscheile, vice president of innovation and professor of Congregational Mission and Leadership, on June 27 for a 90-minute live workshop on spiritual practices that can begin to shift a church’s culture from membership to discipleship. Together, we’ll share ideas on finding those deeper connections through spiritual practices and spotting these opportunities naturally within our faith communities. We’ll talk about how we can engage our community for deep-rooted change that fosters discipleship. Luther students can access the workshop (and many other resources) free of charge until September.
