All are welcome to join us for a dessert get-together in the OCC dining room on Sunday, January 11 during RFS “linner” with the Reconciling in Christ (RIC) Advocacy Committee. Feel free to come with questions about what this committee does or just come to hang out for cookies and conversation. We hope to see you there! Questions? Email rrohloff001@luthersem.edu.

Dangerous weather, safety threats, and other potential emergency situations can occur without warning any time of day and any season of the year. All members of the Luther Seminary community are urged to sign up for our text alert system to receive timely notifications of severe weather conditions and other urgent matters. Your subscription will last two years, and you should get a text from the system when it is time for you to renew.

In this devotion, Paul Lutter ’99 M.Div., considers the days we think God has forsaken us and the days in which God is present. Read today’s God Pause.

We’re starting a monthly zoom gathering for women of the ELCA who attend Luther Seminary. It will be a time to gather, encourage, and uplift one another as we ground ourselves in our Lutheran heritage. If you are interested in attending, email BillieJo Shahan, bshahan001@luthersem.edu, and indicate which days of the week and what times of day would work best for you.

Anticipating the January 13 Rutlen Lecture, “Be-Wilded by Wonder: Just Creation in the Book of Job,” the Luther Seminary Library has posted a brief bibliography on our speaker William Brown.
