We are excited to welcome you to campus in February for Spring 2025 RFS. Here are a few reminders to help you prepare and to know what to expect: Syllabus Day is February 18; check out the Spring RFS Schedule; confirm your RFS Housing – Fairfield Inn & Suites Minneapolis-Saint Paul Airport. There are some special opportunities on Tuesday, February 25 between RFS 1 and RFS 2. Students can come early or stay late to take advantage of the offerings.

In this devotion, Mark S. B. Docken ’82 M.Div., reminds us on this day that, no matter what the world might say, God loves you and is always declaring “blessed are you.” Read today’s God Pause.
