Check out this week’s blog post from Dean of the Chapel Steve Thomason—Jesus and the Man Born Blind.

You are warmly invited to join our seminary community for a special time of Lenten soup, bread, and prayer. Beginning Tuesday, February 24, and continuing each Tuesday through March 31, we will gather from 6:30–7 p.m. for a simple meal of soup and bread. Following our time of soup and prayer, you are invited to join the Dean of Chapel online, either together in OCC 148 or individually in your rooms—as you feel most comfortable—for Virtual Vespers. As part of our communal Lenten practice, we will also take part in creating a mural together—watch for announcements about this activity. All are welcome, come as you are.

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

Let’s gather on Zoom (link in email) on Tuesday evenings during Lent. Pastor Steve will host a simple time where we will check in with each other, read scripture, pray, and reflect on our Lenten theme: Encounter. We’ll begin at 7 p.m. and finish by 7:45. The Zoom link is also on the LS Community shared Google calendar.

In this devotion, Ashley Wheeler, Associate Director for Candidacy and Vocational Formation, talks about storms that stop us short on our journeys. Read today’s God Pause.

Due to winter storm conditions, the Luther Seminary campus will be closed on Monday, March 16. Remote operations and learning will be in effect for students and non-essential employees.
