Wednesday Communion Service [In-Person]
We gather in the Chapel of the Incarnation again this Wednesday for a service of Holy Communion. We had a great time last week. It is a simple, quiet, straightforward practice of the communion liturgy. There is no sermon, just prayer and reflection in community around the readings for the week. We’ll start at 11 a.m.
Farmfest Rural Economic and Cultural Experience – August 5 [In-Person]
Students, faculty, and staff, on Wednesday, August 5, there is an opportunity to experience an agricultural, rural gathering at Farmfest in southwestern Minnesota. We will leave Luther Seminary at 7 a.m. in a van whose cost is covered by rural ministry grants. Tickets will also be covered for participants. Morgan, Minnesota, is a couple of hours out. We will arrive at the fest around 9:30 and return home in the early evening. It may be closer for you to meet us at the Farmfest site. Parking is free. We will still pick up the cost of entering and lunch. This trip is an opportunity to learn about the opportunities, challenges, economics, politics, and lifestyle of rural and small-town people and communities in this part of the Midwest. Candidates for governor and senator in the state of Minnesota will be in candidate forums that day too. If you are interested in participating, email janderson008@luthersem.edu or sign up here. We have limited spaces.
