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 helps students meet their nutritional needs and 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.

Auditing Courses. Provided satisfactory arrangements regarding work schedule are made with your supervisor, all employees not currently registered in a degree program may—with permission of the academic dean and course professor—audit courses at no cost. This privilege is also available to spouses of staff members.
Faith+Lead Courses. Employees are eligible to attend Faith+Lead courses and workshops at a 50% charge. You must register with Faith+Lead prior to attending any courses.

In this devotion, Mercedes Roesch ’24 M.Div. shares a story about the ways Jesus opens our earthly eyes to see others. Read today’s God Pause.

Join us today in the OCC Dining Room at 11 a.m. CT for Lunch Church. We will be continuing to create our Lenten community art project. Come eat lunch and add to our sanctuary banner in a creative way. Share your prayer requests.

Tonight at 7 p.m. CT, there will be a service of evening prayer with Taizé chant. This service will be held in the OCC Chapel—if you walk in and there are no lights on, it’s because we have candles! These services will continue Thursdays throughout Lent. All are welcome!

Luther Seminary women of the ELCA, you are invited to a zoom gathering on Thursday, March 12 from 10:00-11:00 a.m. CT. This is a time for us to gather together, encourage one another in our calls, build community, and ground ourselves in our Lutheran heritage. Please email BillieJo Shahan at bshahan001@luthersem.edu to receive a zoom link. I look forward to seeing you.
