In this devotion, Nancy Amburn ’94 M.Div., ponders the remarkable amount of love in this world. Read today’s God Pause.

As we prepare to sell our Upper Campus, we’ve learned that two underground fuel storage tanks near Bockman Hall need to be removed. This is both good environmental practice and necessary for a successful sale. Here’s what to expect:
– Work begins late August. It will take up to 2 weeks to remove the tanks. Soil testing will follow and results are expected within 4 weeks.
– Bockman Hall’s accessible entrance will be closed during the tank removal.
– Parking in the Bockman lot will be limited.
– As of right now, we expect the sidewalk between Gullixson Hall and OCC to remain open during the project.
– We are mindful of the upcoming Fall RFS (September 19–25) and anticipate that the project will be completed by this time. If work is ongoing, we will seek to minimize any disruptions to events on campus.
We’ll share the exact start date for the fuel tank removal once the work is scheduled. We appreciate your patience as we navigate this necessary project. Questions can be directed to Chris Jacobsen or Heidi Droegemueller.

Want to share something in an upcoming edition of Inside Luther News, the seminary’s internal e-newsletter? Send your announcement to communic@luthersem.edu. Submit items for the September edition by Wednesday, August 12. Inside Luther News content is meant to be somewhat broader in scope—seasonal announcements, monthly reminders, stories about recent events or news of upcoming projects—than the daily Community Announcements posts and emails.

In this devotion, Nancy Amburn ’94 M.Div., wonders what the world would look and sound like if we were gracious to each other. Read today’s God Pause.
