Announcements
Kazu Haga Author Event
This summer over 50 students, staff and faculty met in book clubs to read “Healing Resistance: A Radically Different Response to Harm.” Now everyone in the Luther Sem Community is invited to join our culminating event, a Q&A Session with the author Kazu Haga!
We’ll be meeting on Tuesday, September 19 from 2:30-4 p.m. Central Time to hear him answer questions (over Zoom) about the book and about the practice of Kingian Nonviolence. Join in person in the OCC Dining Room or online via Zoom.
You don’t have to have read the book or participated in the book clubs to join! The session will be recorded. Hope to see you there! Any questions, reach out to lmildahl001@luthersem.edu.
Headshot Opportunity for New Staff and Faculty
For staff and faculty members, if you have never gotten a photo headshot at Luther Seminary, sign up for a headshot time slot for Wednesday, September 20. Photos will be taken at OCC between 8:00-11:30 a.m.
New: Stewardship-In-A-Box—Free for Seminary Students
September 21 (in person at St. Andrew Lutheran Church in Eden Prairie, MN). Register here today!
Using tried and true methods from fundraising experts and stewardship leaders, this brand new digital resource created through a partnership of the seminary’s Stewardship Leaders Program and Church Anew will help congregations from the beginning to the end of a stewardship campaign.
This worship and spiritual practice series will help people of faith unpack some of what they have heard about money (and generosity), reflect on how God might be calling them to use all of their money (not just the portion they give away), and discern how people of all ages might participate in God’s mission in their congregation through financial generosity.
Seminary students: Use the code SEM50 at checkout and get $50 off our Stewardship in a Box resources! (This makes online free and $10 for in-person at St. Andrew to cover some of the cost of lunch.)
Sunday Worship
You are invited to worship with local congregations. You can find a list of local congregations that are easily accessible from Luther’s campus here.
Ice Cream Social
Join us for some ice cream on Sunday, September 17, 2023 at 6:30-7:30 p.m. in the Garden of the Resurrection of Olson Campus Center (back of OCC). You will be greeted by the Reconciling In Christ (RIC) Committee and share their efforts to ensure our LGBTQIA+ students and allies voices and presence are heard and celebrated at Luther. We love to hear your questions or concerns around one or two scoops of ice cream. You are welcome!
This event is organized by the RIC Committee and sponsored by Student Council. See you there!
