Dear Luther Seminary Colleagues,
We invite you to celebrate and thank Maria May for her work as a valued Contextual Learning colleague for the past six years. Her last day at Luther Seminary will be April 6. Maria’s organization, project management, and overall agility as a team member has been integral to moving Contextual Learning into a multi-modal learning and training environment for literally thousands of ministry leaders (students and external ministers alike). Maria is venturing forward in her final stretch of candidacy as a postulant for priesthood in the Episcopal church and her final year completing her own M.Div. degree at the General Theological Seminary of New York. We look forward to hearing more as her ministry journey unfolds. Please stop by Bockman Hall 116 for coffee/tea and light refreshments and an opportunity to say farewell on Wednesday, March 25 from 9-10 a.m.
—Tim Coltvet, Director of Contextual Learning

The Zoom link is also on the LS Community shared Google calendar.

Join the Community Fellows and Cody Sanders on March 21, 6–8 p.m. to discuss theology, current topics, and theological anxiety in turbulent times. This Pubs & Profs will be offered only on Zoom. Sign up using this online form to receive the invitation and Zoom link.
