Luther staff are invited to one of two upcoming spaces to hold conversation with one another about the relocation of the seminary. This is not a program-oriented conversation nor one that has in view any logistical, architectural, or real estate decisions. It is a conversation space to process what we’re holding—personally and as a community—as we approach the move. Likely, many of us are experiencing everything from deep grief to hopeful anticipation, often intermingled and with a lot in between. We invite you to bring all of this into a spacious conversation with one another. There are two opportunities, and you are invited to choose one to attend:
Tuesday, March 24 – 12 p.m. In-Person Only, lunch provided, OCC Dining Room
Tuesday, April 7 at 12 p.m. Zoom Only (link to come)
We want to be able to speak with one another in a face-to-face way, so we are holding these conversations in one modality at a time. Choose which one works best for you. Chris Jacobsen (cjacobsen003@luthersem.edu) and Cody Sanders (csanders001@luthersem.edu), both members of the Future Space Working Group, will be holding this space and helping to facilitate conversation. If you have questions, please contact them.

In this devotion, Sally Messner ’07 M.S.M. reminds us that God deals in the ridiculous, including the foolishness of the cross. Read today’s God Pause.
