Join us for a day-long regional gathering to talk about caring for our creation. This year’s theme is From Fear to Fire: Igniting Community for a Planet in Peril. Transportation will be available for up to twelve people—students, staff, faculty—who sign up here. If you would like to travel to Duluth on your own, let us know. If you travel with us the cost of transportation, registration, and a meal at the event will be covered by the Rural Ministry Fund. If you will be traveling on your own, we will still cover registration costs. You can also watch it on livestream. One van will leave early Saturday morning and return Saturday evening. We are considering having the other van heading up on Friday—let us know on the sign up form if you are interested in that option. Contact Jon Anderson (janderson008@luthersem.edu) for more information.

In this devotion, Gracia Grindal ’83 M.A. says this hymn reminds us of something truly wonderful to sing about: a God who comes to us as one humble and poor, who wears “the robe of human frame” to bring us the kingdom. Read today’s God Pause.
