In this devotion, Joyce Tollefson Capp ’91 M.Div. encourages us to begin and end every day by praising the Lord. Read today’s God Pause.

We will be holding our contemplative practice in the OCC Meditation Chapel at 11:00 a.m. central instead of the dining room. It is upstairs at the end of the hall. This will still be a hybrid event (Zoom link in email). Share your prayer requests.

DL students, we look forward to working with you this year to represent your voices. Please feel free to reach out to us with suggestions, issues, or concerns that are important to you so that we can share them with Luther Seminary’s student council. Or feel free simply to reach out to say “hello” and introduce yourself! We hope to have a “Delightful DL” (in-person) meet-up during Spring RFS one evening in the lobby of the Fairfield hotel—stay turned for more info. In the meantime, you can contact us at ktakahashi001@luthersem.edu or kvance001@luthersem.edu.
—Kaylee Vance and Kari Takahashi, Your DL Student Council Reps

We will observe All Saints’ Day in Chapel on Wednesday, November 6. We will have a cross draped with bells, each bearing the name of a loved one who has died. If you have a name that you would like spoken out loud, written on a ribbon, and placed on this cross during the service, please indicate this by filling out this online form. We pray for your ongoing peace and comfort as we grieve, remember, and celebrate the lives of these beloved children and saints of God.
