Do you play handbells, or have you ever wanted to play handbells? We need 8-10 handbell ringers to do some random ringing with the opening hymn during our Reformation Service on October 25. (Operative word is “random.”) Zero experience required—no music reading necessary—only a willingness to give it a try.  Please let Arlene Flancher know at aflancher001@luthersem.edu. We’ll meet at 10:30 a.m. on October 25 and you’ll learn everything you need to know before playing in worship. I promise!

Please help us to welcome Luther alum Jesse Weiss M.A. to the Seminary Relations team as our new prospect development and campaign manager! He has spent over 15 years working at several Lutheran Outdoor Ministries, most recently serving as executive director of Camp Amnicon. We are delighted to welcome him back to Luther! Please contact Dan Sassenberg at dsassenberg001@luthersem.edu with any questions or reach out to Jesse at jweiss002@luthersem.edu.
