Inside Luther News – Deadline for December Edition

Submit items for the December edition by Wednesday, November 11. Inside Luther News content is meant to be somewhat broader in scope—seasonal announcements, monthly reminders, stories about recent events or news of upcoming projects—than the daily Community Announcements posts and emails.
