In this devotion, Judy Bullock, ’20 M.Div., says the Christian life is not about having all the answers but about trusting Jesus will be there for us even when life is messy. Read today’s God Pause.

The Stewardship Leaders Program, in collaboration with Thrivent Charitable, invites you to apply for an Endowment Lab Grant. This grant program is designed to support Luther Seminary students, faculty, staff, and programs. All applications must align with Luther Seminary’s welcome, vision, and mission statements, and the project must benefit the Luther Seminary community. This year the Stewardship Leaders Program will match the Thrivent Charitable award dollars, so we hope to give away over $15,000, with a maximum single grant award of $4,000. Grant applications will be judged by the summer Money and Mission of the Church class as part of their education on endowments. Find out more and apply online. Grant applications must be received by August 2 and winners will be notified by the end of August. If you have any questions about the program or the application please email Grace Pomroy, Director of the Stewardship Leaders Program at gpomroy001@luthersem.edu.

In this devotion, Judy Bullock, ’20 M.Div., notes the Apostle Paul’s clarity that we should admit our fight with sin is real and let Jesus show us the way. Read today’s God Pause.

We will gather in the Chapel of the Incarnation at 11 a.m. on Wednesdays in July and August for a Super Simple Service of Sacrament (no sermon). Take 20 minutes out of your week to gather as a Luther community, be still, hear scripture, pray together, and receive communion. We begin on Wednesday, July 8.

Congratulations to our colleagues celebrating work anniversaries in July!
