* Any student who hasn’t yet booked a hotel should contact the hotels directly to verify availability. We have arranged shuttles with Doubletree-Roseville and Fairfield-Mendota Heights. Students are welcome to stay elsewhere but will need to arrange their own transportation. Students attending the Tuesday night soup dinner will need to arrange their own transportation.

We are in need of a few volunteers to help serve communion on Monday, March 2 and Wednesday, March 4. If you will be on campus for RFS 1 or 2 and would like to help out, please fill out this brief form. We look forward to worshiping God together as a seminary community this upcoming week.
God Pause for February 26: John 3
In this devotion, Gracia Grindal ’83 M.A. considers how Nicodemus seems to know only one reality and struggles to understand any other. Read today’s God Pause.
Thursday Chapel: Lunch Church [In-Person]
Join us today in the OCC Dining Room at 11 a.m. CT. We will continue creating our Lenten community art project. Come eat lunch and add to our sanctuary banner in a creative way. Share your prayer requests.
Candlelight Taize Evening Prayer [In-Person]
Tonight at 7 p.m. CT, there will be a service of evening prayer with Taizé chant. This service will be held in the OCC Chapel—if you walk in and there are no lights on, it’s because we have candles! These services will continue Thursdays throughout Lent. All are welcome!
