We gather in the Chapel of the Incarnation again this Wednesday for a service of Holy Communion. 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.

If you have art in your office that belongs to the Luther Seminary Art Collection, please let Caleb know at crollins002@luthersem.edu. Please include in your email some times that your office would be accessible for Caleb to come view the pieces and take photos. Thank you for your help as we seek to get an accurate inventory of our art collection!

We are pleased to announce the start of a campus-wide lighting replacement project. Over the coming weeks, electricians will be working throughout campus to replace existing light fixtures with new, energy-efficient LED fixtures. This project is part of our ongoing commitment to improving our facilities, reducing energy consumption, and enhancing the overall campus environment. Our contractors will be moving through buildings and individual spaces in phases. While some temporary noise and minor disruptions are unavoidable, we will make every effort to minimize the impact on daily campus operations. To help reduce disruptions, work inside individual offices will be scheduled whenever possible on Mondays and Fridays, when many employees work remotely. Our goal is to complete work in occupied spaces as quickly and efficiently as possible while maintaining access to offices whenever feasible. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we complete this important campus improvement project. If electricians need temporary access to your office or workspace, they will work to minimize the time required. Thank you for your understanding and support as we make these energy-efficient upgrades to our campus.
