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.

The recent death of Peruvian theologian, Samuel Escobar, has renewed attention on Latinx theologians, several of whom are highlighted in the library’s Latino Theologians bibliography—which includes the work of two well-known Cuban Americans, Justo Gonzales and Ada Maria Isasi-Diaz.

In this devotion, Young Chung ’02 M.S.M, ’16 M.Div., shares how, when faithfulness to God feels costly, this psalm invites us to name our pain honestly, keep praying, and trust in God’s presence. Read today’s God Pause.
