As we prepare to move into another school year, and the last on this campus, this prayer ribbon sculpture will be a space for students, faculty, staff, and community members to participate in sharing in a prayer, hope, or dream for Luther Seminary for this year and beyond. You are invited to contribute personal or communal prayers by writing them on a ribbon and placing them on the sculpture. Then, take some time to read and consider the rest of the prayers shared by members of the community. The sculpture is outside by the HOPE sign, and beginning Friday, September 18 through the end of RFS 2 there will be a staffed table with instructions. Reach out to Kiersten Dahl-Shetka, kdahlshetka@luthersem.edu, if you have any questions.
