In this devotion, Cheryl Rondeau-Bassett ’15 M.Div., says that “finishing the race” is less about completing a list of activities and more about faithfully living out the purpose God has given us until we are called home. Read today’s God Pause.

We will celebrate the finale of our ABIDE sermon series with a free community meal immediately following chapel on Wednesday, October 22. This will provide an opportunity to debrief the series in round table conversations and ask each other the important question, “What part will I play in creating a climate of ABIDE at Luther Seminary?”

In this devotion, Cheryl Rondeau-Bassett ’15 M.Div., notes how meaningful it can be to dwell in the house of the Lord regularly and form habits around such rituals. Read today’s God Pause.

As part of our ongoing commitment to campus safety, Luther Seminary will be conducting a scheduled fire drill affecting the following buildings: Olson Campus Center (OCC), Bockman Hall, Gullixson Hall. The drill will take place Tuesday, October 21 at 10:00 a.m. When the fire alarm sounds, all students, faculty, staff, and visitors are required to exit the buildings promptly, calmly, and in an orderly manner. Please follow all posted exit signs and instructions from safety personnel. Please use only stairwells, as elevators are disabled during an emergency. After exiting, proceed to the southernmost point of campus near the Luther Seminary sign on Como Avenue. If you are exiting from the Olson Campus Center, please use the walkway to the west, routed around Bockman Hall, to maintain a safe distance in the event of an emergency affecting that building. This drill is an important opportunity for our community to practice emergency preparedness procedures. Thank you for your cooperation and attentiveness in helping ensure the safety of all members of the Luther Seminary community.
