In this devotion, Elizabeth Callen ’23 M.Div., reminds us that, in a world where so much is uncertain, God’s love for us is not. Read today’s God Pause.

The heads of the seven ELCA seminaries met in retreat recently and decided it would be a good moment to speak together, with appreciation and hope, to leaders in the ELCA and to their own communities. Their statement—A Message of Gratitude and Hope—is from all of them and is intended to be shared.

As we come to the close of another enriching academic year, we are hosting a community gathering to experience a fun day out in the field.
When. May 22, 5–7 p.m.
Where. Murray field (behind Health Partners)
We hope to feature outdoor games of soccer and volleyball. We will have two teams register for three-a-side competitions in the soccer game category and two teams for the volleyball category. Each team is expected to choose the name they will prefer for their team and are welcome to encourage those who will attend to cheer a team as they play. (Meaning, there will be something to do for everyone who shows up). Light refreshment will be provided after the game. Kindly register your team online. And come prepared to win a trophy with your team.

As part of our continued efforts to improve account security, the Office of Technology will be disabling support for older Duo Mobile passcode methods on June 1. Specifically, the older HOTP (HMAC-based One-Time Password) passcode method—still available on Duo Mobile versions 4.48 and earlier—is less secure and more vulnerable to malicious activity. These versions will no longer be supported after June 1.
What You Need to Do. If you’re using Duo Mobile version 4.48 or earlier, please update to the latest version before June 1 to avoid disruptions to your Seminary account login. The current version is 4.87.
How to Check Your Version:

• Open the Duo Mobile app.
• Tap the menu icon (☰) in the top-left corner.
• Your current app version is listed at the bottom of the sidebar.

Already on version 4.49 or newer? You’re all set! Push notifications and TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) passcodes will continue working as expected. If you have any questions or need help updating your app, please contact the Help Desk at helpdesk@luthersem.edu.
