United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities and St. John the Evangelist Episcopal Church in St. Paul are jointly sponsoring a lecture by the highly esteemed American theologian and ethicist Gary Dorrien. The free event will take place at 6:30 p.m. on September 25 at St. John’s and be live-streamed on St. John’s YouTube channel.

At our most recent All Hands meeting, we announced that teams for the Give Day faculty/staff prize are going to be a little different this year. Instead of departments competing against one another, we have randomly assigned all faculty and staff members to teams of about 20. The team assignments have been emailed out, so check your inbox for an email from semrel@luthersem.edu with your team assignment. If you did not receive an email with your team assignment, please reach out to the Seminary Relations team at semrel@luthersem.edu and we will add you to a team. The first team to reach 100% participation will win the faculty/staff prize! Go to giveday.luthersem.edu to find out more and make your gift early starting on September 11.

Starting the week of September 3, we will be moving our accounts payable deadline from noon on Wednesdays to noon on Tuesdays. This change is designed to enhance our operational efficiency, ensure timely processing, and create a more balanced workflow for the business office team. We understand that this change may require some adjustments in your routines, and we appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we implement this improvement. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

In this devotion, O. Wayne Shelksohn ’81 M.Div., invites us to look in the mirror and to see our lives as God is calling us to live them. Read today’s God Pause.

Greetings Luther Seminary community from Steve Thomason. As I step into the Dean of the Chapel role, I want to begin by saying something: We need your help and creativity! Please join me Wednesday, August 28 at 12:30 p.m. in Dining Room A for a community meeting where I hope to accomplish a couple things:

1. I would love to hear about your hopes and dreams for how we can share meaningful worship experiences together this fall.
2. I would also love to learn about all the hidden talents and skills that exist in our campus community in music, art, public speaking, writing, and all the various components that go into creating a robust worship experience.

If you are not able to attend this meeting, would you be willing to fill out a quick survey to let us know how you would like to participate in this collaborative process?

In this devotion, O. Wayne Shelksohn ’81 M.Div., wonders what it means to be a good guest in God’s house. Read today’s God Pause.
