Come and brake bread on December 4 from 8:30–9:30 a.m. in the Library reading room! This is the third “Brake Bread” opportunity to gather around bread, jam, and pastries while building deeper community connections and celebrating a particular campus space—this time in the Library reading room. Supported by an Endowment Lab Grant from Thrivent, these “Brake Bread” events are intentional moments to build relationships, listen to one another, laugh together, and celebrate the good work and learning being done among us. Please join us in this holy space to love one another more deeply in a time of uncertainty. If you have questions, email Emily Rova-Hegener in Contextual Learning, erovahegener001@luthersem.edu.
