New and current Luther Seminary students are invited to apply for an internship with Lutheran Campus Ministry Twin Cities. The LCM Outreach intern works with current University of Minnesota student leaders to reach out and build relationships with students in Saint Paul, cultivates and leads a meaningful small group on the Saint Paul Campus, and learns from and contributes to the broader LCM-TC community. There are opportunities for further learning, growth, development, and travel depending on the desires and capacity of the person. The position is 10 hours a week and is paid. A 2-year commitment (Aug 15-May 15) is encouraged, and preference will be given to those who can make that commitment. The intern must be available on Wednesday nights during the academic year. Deadline to apply is July 31, and applicants will be interviewed on a rolling basis. Start date is flexible, ideally around August 15. Send questions and/or to apply send cover letter, resume, and references to pastorkate@umnlutheran.org.

To support students who may be facing food insecurity, Luther Seminary operates a direct-order grocery process for the seminary community. Luther Seminary’s Grocery Assistance Program is a lifeline for students facing food insecurity. Started during the pandemic, this vital program continues to provide essential groceries to an average of 25 students each week. Through the program, students can request necessary food items that are then carefully processed, purchased, and delivered to campus by dedicated volunteers. This initiative not only helps students meet their nutritional needs but also fosters a sense of community and support within the seminary. Your generous donation will ensure that this program can continue to make a real difference in the lives of Luther Seminary students. On the Grocery Assistance Program webpage, you can make a one-time or recurring gift to support this important ministry.

The Stewardship Leaders Program, in collaboration with Thrivent Charitable, invites you to apply for an endowment lab grant. This grant program is designed to support Luther Seminary students, faculty, staff, and programs. All applications must align with Luther Seminary’s welcome, vision, and mission statements, and the project must benefit the Luther Seminary community. Total amount awarded will be up to $13,300 with a maximum single grant award of $4,000. Grant applications will be judged by the summer Money and Mission of the Church class as part of their education on endowments. Find out more and apply online. Grant applications must be received by August 3, and winners will be notified by the end of August. If you have any questions about the program or the application please email Grace Pomroy, Director of the Stewardship Leaders Program at gpomroy001@luthersem.edu.
