As you register for winter classes, consider CL4567 Funding Forward. Initially listed as a synchronous course with weekly meetings, this course will now be offered entirely asynchronously. Have you ever wondered what options there might be for funding ministry outside of the offering plate? Congregations across the country are finding new, more economically sustainable models for ministry that better align with God’s mission. These models include specific tools like repurposing church property, social enterprise, impact investing, grants, and more. Together, we’ll explore how might God be calling the church to use alternative income sources to fulfill God’s mission in new ways. For more information, contact Grace Pomroy, Director of the Stewardship Leaders Program, gpomroy001@luthersem.edu.

In this devotion, Meredith Bedker Musaus ‘86 M.Div., considers how we might, in this busy world, keep our lamps lit to prepare for Christ. Read today’s God Pause.
