Students, today at Mount Olivet—Thursday, January 15—we’ll have a photographer and videographer on site to capture visually some of shared community experiences in this exciting, off-campus space. You are encouraged to wear a Luther Seminary-branded shirt or other apparel on this day. Wearing something maroon and/or gray (but not branded) is great too. (Staff and faculty, you’re welcome to join in the fun too!)

In this devotion, Steven Nelson ’76 M.Div., says that our destiny is good because Jesus chooses us. Read today’s God Pause.

We continue to closely monitor the situation on the ground in the Twin Cities. At this time, RFS 2 will move forward at Mount Olivet as planned. We have been in touch with our partners at Mount Olivet—they are excited to welcome us and remain prepared to host us in the midst of these challenging times. We feel confident in the safety planning that is already in place and in our ability to adapt quickly if circumstances change. Please remain attentive for additional updates by email throughout this week. There are plenty of seats still available on the bus between campus and Mount Olivet, and we know that some are feeling a sense of heightened vulnerability related to transportation. Please feel free to sign up to ride the bus, even if you had not previously planned to do so. A Luther staff or faculty member will be present on the bus. Any student with questions or concerns is encouraged to connect with our interim dean of students, Shamani Shikwambi. Please direct all other questions to academicdean@luthersem.edu.
