Luther Seminary is one of six seminaries chosen to host the Smithsonian Institute’s touring exhibit on human origins. The exhibit is free and open to the public and has been residing in the OCC lobby since mid August. The last day to visit the exhibit is this Friday, November 14. Come and explore this week while you still can!

To support students who may be facing food insecurity, Luther Seminary operates a direct-order grocery process for the seminary community. Luther Seminary’s Grocery Assistance Program is a lifeline for students facing food insecurity. Started during the pandemic, this vital program continues to provide essential groceries to an average of 25 students each week. Through the program, students can request necessary food items that are then carefully processed, purchased, and delivered to campus by dedicated volunteers. This initiative helps students meet their nutritional needs and fosters a sense of community and support within the seminary. Your generous donation will ensure that this program can continue to make a real difference in the lives of Luther Seminary students. On the Grocery Assistance Program webpage, you can make a one-time or recurring gift to support this important ministry.

In this devotion, Mary Ann Bowman ’04 M.Div., prays that we might be God’s hands, feet, and lips as we do God’s work in our communities and around the world. Read today’s God Pause.
