Worship is central to our life as the Luther Seminary community. The chapel staff is looking for volunteers to help out with our communion services on Monday, September 15 (RFS 1) and Wednesday, September 17 (RFS 2). Use this form to let us know what you would like to do.

Save the Date – You are invited to a special Lunch Church with Ed Brown, secretary general of Stefanus Alliance International Ministry, on Thursday, September 25, 11 a.m. Following our community lunch at 12 p.m., Ed will share about this small Norwegian NGO focused on promoting and protecting freedom of religion or belief for everyone and strengthening the presence of the church in areas of the world where there is extensive discrimination and persecution on the basis of religion or belief. Ed has worked as senior advisor at the Norwegian Helsinki Committee and as pastor for the International Baptist Church outside of Oslo Norway. Please join us for a rich conversation during Lunch Church and stay a little while longer to hear more about this ministry.
