All are invited to a Pentecost Celebration on Saturday, May 23, 2026, at 12 p.m. at Saint Peter’s AME Church (401 East 41st Street, Minneapolis), where alum and board member Tracey Gibson is pastor. This sacred gathering promises to be a powerful time of worship, renewal, and Holy Spirit empowerment as we celebrate the outpouring of God’s Spirit upon the church. Pentecost reminds us that the church was born not in comfort but in power—birthed in unity, prayer, and divine fire. In a season where the church is called to be both prophetic and pastoral, this celebration will strengthen our collective witness and rekindle our commitment to kingdom. Bishop Frederick Wright Sr. will preach at this significant occasion. The Saint Paul-Minneapolis District (AME) would be deeply honored by your presence and participation.

In this devotion, Elizabeth Hermeier ’17 M.Div., reminds us that Jesus always shows up, even when we least expect him. Read today’s God Pause.

The Stewardship Leaders Program, in collaboration with Thrivent Charitable, invites you to apply for an Endowment Lab Grant. This grant program is designed to support Luther Seminary students, faculty, staff, and programs. All applications must align with Luther Seminary’s welcome, vision, and mission statements, and the project must benefit the Luther Seminary community. This year the Stewardship Leaders Program will match the Thrivent Charitable award dollars, so we hope to give away over $15,000, with a maximum single grant award of $4,000. Grant applications will be judged by the summer Money and Mission of the Church class as part of their education on endowments. Find out more and apply online. Grant applications must be received by August 2 and winners will be notified by the end of August. If you have any questions about the program or the application please email Grace Pomroy, Director of the Stewardship Leaders Program at gpomroy001@luthersem.edu.
