Join us today in the OCC Dining Room at 11 a.m. CT for Lunch Church led by Joellen Barak, M.Div. student. Lunch is provided. Share your prayer requests.

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:
– 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. If you have questions, contact Cody Sanders (csanders001@luthersem.edu).

Tuesday, June 9, 9 a.m.–4 p.m.
OCC Dining Room
All are welcome to join this on-campus retreat for a time of learning more about Luther Seminary’s approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion called ABIDE—centered around our common commitments of accountability, belonging, inclusion, diversity, and equity. We will listen carefully to one another, celebrate the great work happening in our community, and spend time refocusing and reenergizing this work. This retreat is for those who have been engaged in ABIDE work to reconnect with one another as well as an opportunity for those new to this kind of work to engage the community’s approach. Direct any questions you might have to: abide@luthersem.edu. Snacks and lunch will be provided. Register here (with your seminary email) if you plan to attend so we can ensure adequate space and refreshments for all. The deadline to register is Monday, June 1.

Everyone’s phishing-sense is strong here. Check out this short OT blog post on how we know that.

In this devotion, Bradford Frye ’21 M.Div., says that, with the guiding presence of the Spirit, we are empowered to be God’s agents for good in this world. Read today’s God Pause.

We gather today at 11 a.m. CT in the Chapel of the Incarnation for a service of Holy Communion with Rolf Jacobson, dean of the faculty, preaching and Steve Thomason, dean of the chapel, presiding. We will have visitors from the class of 1976 celebrating their Golden Anniversary. The Luther Seminary Choir led by Carolina Bowen will sing, and Doran Schoeppach will be playing the organ. The service will be livestreamed. Share your prayer requests.
