Archives for September 2026

You are invited to participate in worship for Fall RFS 1 and 2. We are looking for several volunteers (student, staff, or faculty) to help with communion and ushering. Please fill out this form by Monday September 14 to indicate your interest and chapel staff will reach out with more details as we get closer. Thanks, everyone!

Do you have questions, concerns, wonderments, or even worries about your personal financial situation? We got you! Grace Pomroy, director of the Stewardship Leaders Program, is a certified financial education instructor. She listens and provides support in a shame-free, judgement-free zone. Hundreds of students have talked with Grace and received valuable support. You determine the topics that will be covered based on your specific situation, then together with Grace, you’ll figure out what the next steps should be. Grace has time open on her calendar every week to meet with students via Zoom—snag your time here. Rather meet in person? I will be meeting with students on campus from 1-4pm on Friday, September 18 (right before the Back to School Block Party). Schedule your in-person appointment using this link. Questions? Contact me at gpomroy001@luthersem.edu.

In this devotion, Sue Lynn White ’17 M.Div., reminds us that we are first forgiven and then encouraged to forgive in turn. Read today’s God Pause.

On September 22, Luther Seminary professor emeritus Craig Koester will present “The Death of Jesus and the Message of Life.” Here’s a brief bibliography for Dr. Koester along with resources for other scholars working in biblical theology.

For an easy way to stay informed about upcoming events, check out the Luther Seminary Community calendar. The calendar shares information about any seminary event open to the entire Luther community, to all students, or to all faculty and/or staff. Examples include chapel, community meals, social events, and important dates like upcoming Residential Focus Sessions. You can add the calendar to your regular Google calendar view and submit events via the community announcements submission process. (Note this calendar is for informational purposes only and does not reserve a room for you—use Coursedog to reserve a space on campus. Contact communic@luthersem.edu with questions.
