This particular election has been marked by much fear, anxiety, and uncertainty. May we find peace in the goodness and love of God for humanity today and be comforted by a prayer from Barth, posted on our brief Karl Barth bibliography.

In this devotion, Joyce Tollefson Capp ’91 M.Div. gives thanks for what God has given as we look to the future of Christ’s coming again. Read today’s God Pause.

Let’s be honest: Wednesday could be a rough day for a lot of people. There are two heavy realities at play that day. Not only is it the day after the election, it is also the day that we will observe All Saint’s Day in chapel. So we want to create a space where we can gather as the community of Christ to find comfort in two ways. First, join us in the chapel at 11:00 a.m. for a service of remembrance and worship where we will find hope in the resurrection. Second, join us immediately following chapel for a soup and salad lunch. This will be a simple time of mutual support around the lunch table. Come for one, or both! And know that you are in our prayers.

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.

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.
