Register for a trip to Christ Church Lutheran—in the Longfellow neighborhood of Minneapolis—on the morning of Sunday, September 20. This visit will include worship and a tour of the Eliel and Eero Saarinen-designed building that is credited with setting the standard for modernist churches built following World War II. Transportation from Luther Seminary will be available for those who would like to attend both worship and the tour. The tour is hosted by Luther Seminary archivist Caleb Rollins and members of the Christ Church Lutheran community. Please register by September 9. All are welcome!

Join colleagues and friends as we discover Scribe—a digital tool that helps capture your screen and create documentation. We have a few power users around campus and others who have some experience with the tool—everyone is attending to discuss and learn. Note that we won’t have a formal presentation but are just sharing wisdom. This is a Lunch & Learn crossed with a playday event. Bring your own lunch and join us in OCC 10 or on Zoom (link in email) on Wednesday, October 21 at noon.

Want to share something in an upcoming edition of Inside Luther News, the seminary’s internal e-newsletter? Send your announcement to communic@luthersem.edu.
