Two important June holidays—beyond Father’s Day—commemorate Juneteenth on June 19 and World Refugee Day on June 20. See our new The Border and Immigration: Theology and Ministry bibliography for an article from Minneapolis-based IAFR about World Refugee Day. And see our Justice and Social issues guide for a webinar on Why Juneteenth Should Matter to the Church.

In this devotion, Young Chung ’02 M.S.M, ’16 M.Div., says that, in a culture that often keeps faith private, Jesus calls us to live openly and courageously. Read today’s God Pause.

Have questions about CPE? Not sure where to start or how to apply to a program? Join our Contextual Learning team for a brief info session to help you get started —Thursday, June 18 at 1 p.m. CT on Zoom (link in email).

Two of our most-used commentaries by students include the Word Biblical Commentary and the Wisdom Commentary, about 84 volumes combined and still in production. All are fully searchable online, with easy-to-use access (Luther Seminary ID).

In this devotion, Young Chung ’02 M.S.M, ’16 M.Div., shares Paul’s reminder to live as who we are—children of God who live not of the world but in the world. Read today’s God Pause.

In June we have one remaining Brake Bread community gathering:

• Final “Brake Bread” Community Gathering. On Wednesday, June 17 in Old Muskego Church 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.
