The Art of Prayer – Prayer beyond Words
Join Professor Thomason today—Thursday, June 27—at 11:00am CST. Sometimes there are no words for what and how we need to pray. Paul tells us in Romans that the Holy Spirit intercedes for us in groans that we cannot understand. Join this livestream as we conclude our June Journey in the Art of Prayer by exploring how contemplative art can be an excellent form of prayer beyond words. Learn more on the Art of Prayer page and join the session live on YouTube.

Care Packages for Summer Outdoor Ministry Staff
Students, staff, faculty, and friends—Are you going to camp this summer? Are you connected to an outdoor ministry? Do you have a friend, congregation member, or loved one working at camp this summer? If so, we need your help. The admissions office is sending care packages to camp and outdoor ministry staff this summer. How does it work? A camp staff member would pick up a Luther Seminary postcard from a camp colleague—or receive one directly from you—fill in their name and camp location, and mail it back to us by August 5. We would then send them a small care package of treats and a vocational discernment devotional. Request postcards for your camp or a specific camp staff member today. Luther Seminary is grateful for the outdoor ministry staff who will help kids and youth with faith formation this summer. Thank you for your help in this recruitment work. Questions? Reach out to Jen Gruendler, jgruendler001@luthersem.edu.
