We gather at 11:00 a.m. CT in the OCC Meditation Chapel and online (link in email) for contemplative practice of your choice—mindful sketching, centering prayer, or however you choose to engage silence. Facilitated by the Dean of the Chapel Steve Thomason, we will read the Psalm of the day and then practice in silence for 15 minutes. Afterward, you are welcome to sit in fellowship or go about your day.
Share your prayer requests.

Student feedback suggested we get information about Residential Focus Sessions (RFS) out earlier. Our Summer 2025 RFS Moodle page is up, and we encourage you to check it out as you get ready for summer registration beginning April 22. Note for Summer RFS that some events have shifted due to Juneteenth landing during the same week.

Please ensure all outstanding balances with the Business Office are cleared before registering for courses, as any holds will prevent you from completing the registration process. Note that scholarships do not cover fees. For more information, visit the finance section in your MyLutherNet account. If a payment is made online, it must be posted manually to your student account by the Business Office. Payments are processed throughout the day during regular Business Office hours. Once posted, it typically takes about 30 minutes for the hold to be cleared from the system.

On Wednesday, April 23 from 6:30-8:15 p.m., Luther will welcome approximately 280 middle-school and high-school youth and their adult leaders from 17 area ELCA congregations to campus for a night of prayer, fun, and worship. And we could use your help! If any students, staff, and faculty want to spend an hour or two hanging out and helping out, it would be greatly appreciated. Contact Ashley in the admissions office at welcome@luthersem.edu to sign up.
