In this devotion, Joel Anderson ’80 M.Div., helps us remember God’s promise that we will flourish . Read today’s God Pause.

From Megan Crosby: “After careful deliberation, I have decided not to return to Luther Seminary as the Chapel Musician next fall. I have greatly enjoyed my time working with the students and Pastor Jeni as we planned and led worship. As a musician, I am accustomed to juggling more than one job. Having three jobs, however, was a bit much. All three of my jobs were technically forty hours on paper, but it took a significant amount of my mental capacity and organizational abilities to make it happen. There wasn’t much brain power left to care for myself and my family and the normal stresses of life. In short, I was doing too much and now I’m balancing my life again.”
We give thanks to God for Megan’s faithful work and ministry and her inspiring musicianship that she shared with us in recent years.

Theologian Jürgen Moltmann has died at the age of 98. To help remember and honor this great Reformed “theologian of hope” after his passing on June 3, the Luther Seminary Library is offering this brief bibliography on Moltmann’s life and theology. We also share here an obituary for Moltmann that appeared in Christianity Today.

In this devotion, Joel Anderson ’80 M.Div., reminds us to look at the trees and focus on the beauty of creation. Read today’s God Pause.

The Moodle upgrade was a success. We are now running on Moodle version 4.4. For those of you who would like to meet via Zoom and take a look at some of the changes and ask questions, please join Laurel Forsgren (lforsgren001@luthersem.edu) on Tuesday, June 11 for a Moodle Q & A for students —either at 10 a.m. or noon (central) on Zoom. Sign up online and Laurel will send you a calendar invite and zoom link. If you are unable to attend either of these sessions, other opportunities will be available for students during summer and fall semester prep weeks. Many of the new updates are explained in our preview video.
