Congratulations, and thank you to all who voted.
Jon Anderson has room to take up to three students with him to visit Grace Lutheran in Nerstrand this coming Sunday morning. This congregation is a little over an hour south of campus. Pastor Dwight Sutherland has invited Jon to bring interested students to experience this rural small town congregation this Sunday, May 3. Let Jon know if you are interested—janderson008@luthersem.edu. The group will leave at 7.30 a.m. from the parking lot between Olson Campus Center and Bockman. Pastor Dwight will join us after the coffee hour to discuss the congregation and their ministry. We will find a place for lunch on the way back (with thanks to supporters of rural ministry) and should be back by 1:30 p.m. We hope to have other similar trips in the future.
Need help in locating scholarly articles on Bible, theology, or religion? Whether you’re seeking full-text articles on a specific scripture passage or a theological topic, the popular ATLA Religion Database is usually the best place to start. ATLA has recently provided this new tutorial to help you navigate the platform. You can also get help from the seminary library’s online tutorials on various topics.
In this devotion, Melissa Pickering ’22 M.Div., considers what it might look like not to let our hearts be troubled. Read today’s God Pause.

As part of our ongoing commitment to campus safety, Luther Seminary will be conducting a scheduled fire drill affecting the following buildings: Olson Campus Center (OCC), Bockman Hall, Gullixson Hall. The drill will take place on Wednesday, April 29 at 1 p.m. When the fire alarm sounds, all students, faculty, staff, and visitors are required to exit the buildings promptly, calmly, and in an orderly manner. Please follow all posted exit signs and instructions from safety personnel. Use only stairwells as elevators are disabled during emergencies. After exiting, proceed to the southernmost point of campus near the Luther Seminary sign on Como Avenue (see map below). If you are exiting from the Olson Campus Center, use the walkway to the west, routed around Bockman Hall, to maintain a safe distance in the event of an emergency affecting that building. This drill is an important opportunity for our community to practice emergency preparedness procedures. Thank you for your cooperation and attentiveness in helping ensure the safety of all members of the Luther Seminary community.
