You are invited to join us for a community lunch on Thursday, September 10 at 12:30 p.m. in the OCC Dining Room. This lunch follows a morning event where faculty will be exploring what we’ve learned through the Pathways II grant about how our students Know, Be, and Do in their formation. We’d love to have the whole Luther community join us afterward to celebrate and connect over a meal. To help us plan for food and seating, please sign up by September 3 on this online form to indicate that you’ll join us for lunch.

In this devotion, Jil Fiemeyer ’22 M.A., thanks God for faithfully providing throughout our lives, even when we can’t recognize how God is involved. Read today’s God Pause.

On Wednesday, August 12 at 11:30 a.m., bring your own lunch and share your thoughts on what the Luther Seminary Art Collection should look like in our new space. The Art Working Group will provide information on the current state of the collection, then we’ll hear your ideas for how we might intentionally integrate art into our communal life in the coming years. We gather in OCC 10 or on Zoom (link in email). Reach out to Caleb with any questions at crollins002@luthersem.edu.
