Put these two Brake Bread community gathering on your calendar!

• Brake Bread and Porch Worship during June RFS. Join us for a celebration around bread, worship, music, and community on Friday, June 12, from 4:30-6:30 p.m. We’ll gather in front of Bockman Hall for an outdoor meal (options provided for those with varying dietary needs), drinks, dessert, and worship. If it rains, we’ll move into the OCC Dining Room.
• Final “Brake Bread” Community Gathering. On Thursday, June 18 in Gullixson Hall 101 from 10-11 a.m., start your morning with our final “Brake Bread” event, where we gather around bread, jam, and coffee while building deeper community connections and celebrating a particular campus space—this time in the Old Muskego Church.

Supported by an Endowment Lab Grant from Thrivent, these “Brake Bread” gatherings are intentional moments to build relationships, listen to one another, laugh together, and celebrate the good work and learning being done among us. Please join us in this holy space to love one another more deeply in a time of uncertainty. If you have questions, email Emily Rova-Hegener in Contextual Learning, erovahegener001@luthersem.edu.
