Do you like art? Books? Then you’re going to love the wide selection of art books available to the community during Spring RFS. Many beautiful art-related books are available in the library’s periodical and reading rooms during regular library hours, with special extended hours Monday, March 2 from 9 a.m. to noon. Drop by and consider giving some art books a new forever home!

Let’s gather on Zoom on Tuesday evenings during Lent. Pastor Steve will host a simple time where we will check in with each other, read scripture, pray, and reflect on our Lenten theme: Encounter. We’ll begin at 7 p.m. and finish by 7:45. The Zoom link is on the LS Community shared Google calendar and shared in daily emails.

Join us for a day-long regional gathering to talk about caring for our creation. This year’s theme is From Fear to Fire: Igniting Community for a Planet in Peril. Transportation will be available for up to twelve people—students, staff, faculty—who sign up here. If you would like to travel to Duluth on your own, let us know. If you travel with us the cost of transportation, registration, and a meal at the event will be covered by the Rural Ministry Fund. If you will be traveling on your own, we will still cover registration costs. You can also watch it on livestream. One van will leave early Saturday morning and return Saturday evening. We are considering having the other van heading up on Friday—let us know on the sign up form if you are interested in that option. Contact Jon Anderson (janderson008@luthersem.edu) for more information.

We are moving from passwords to passphrases for everyone this year. Read this blog post to learn a little more about passphrases. More information will be coming over the next few months. Our Zoom renewal in March will bring some new features for faculty and staff. The same blog post gives a preview of the new features.
