Join us Wednesday, May 6 at 12 p.m. for lunch with the Golden Reunion attendees! Alumni from the class of 1976 will be on campus for their 50th reunion. This lunch is a great chance for the Luther campus community to connect with alumni. Due to the Golden Reunion taking place on campus, we will have an influx of people and cars. To accommodate this group visiting for their reunion, we ask that you leave the campus lots open, and park on the street if you are able. Thank you!

Students, staff, and faculty—We would love your help to freshen up the campus before our graduates and their families come to celebrate Baccalaureate on 5/30. Here is when you can help clean up campus:

– Wed, May 13, 1-5 p.m. (snacks/drinks)

Anyone is invited to join us for as long as you have time available. Wear comfortable clothes and help us rake and plant some flowers. Facilities will have rakes and gloves (if you can bring some from home, that’s great too). Meet on the front lawn of Bockman Hall.

Luther Seminary students are invited to one of two upcoming spaces to hold conversation with one another about the relocation of the seminary. This is a conversation space to process what we’re holding—personally and as a community—as we approach the move. 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, May 5, 6:15–7:45 p.m. In-Person Only, dinner provided, OCC Dining Room (in place of Simple Supper program)
– Thursday, May 7, 6:15–7:45 p.m. Zoom Only (link in email)
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. If you have questions, please contact Cody Sanders (csanders001@luthersem.edu).

In this devotion, Melissa Pickering ’22 M.Div., says that our purpose, as part of the “royal priesthood,” isn’t to boast but to live a life that reflects God’s mercy and light. Read today’s God Pause.
