Looking Ahead—Winter RFS 2 to Be Held at Mount Olivet in Minneapolis
As we wrap up fall RFS sessions, please note that the second Winter RFS session (January 14–16) will be held at Mount Olivet Lutheran Church in south Minneapolis rather than here on campus. Why? As we explore options for our new physical space, holding an off-site RFS experiment will help us learn a lot and imagine new possibilities. Mount Olivet is a vibrant congregation where several of our alums serve in leadership roles. Students will still register for RFS via the normal process starting in October. All details related to transportation, food, and logistics will be shared as the date gets closer. For now, please contact academicdean@luthersem.edu with any questions.
