Join us today—Thursday, November 7—at 11:00 a.m. central in the OCC Dining Room for a heartwarming Lunch Church. Enjoy a free lunch and bring a favorite side dish from your cultural tradition to share with our Luther community. This potluck-style gathering celebrates the beautiful diversity of our backgrounds through food and fellowship. Let’s come together for the Global Agape Feast and create a memorable experience filled with delicious dishes and meaningful connections. Your presence will make this event truly special. See you there!

This particular election has been marked by much fear, anxiety, and uncertainty. May we find peace in the goodness and love of God for humanity today and be comforted by a prayer from Barth, posted on our brief Karl Barth bibliography.

In this devotion, Joyce Tollefson Capp ’91 M.Div. gives thanks for what God has given as we look to the future of Christ’s coming again. Read today’s God Pause.

Let’s be honest: Wednesday could be a rough day for a lot of people. There are two heavy realities at play that day. Not only is it the day after the election, it is also the day that we will observe All Saint’s Day in chapel. So we want to create a space where we can gather as the community of Christ to find comfort in two ways. First, join us in the chapel at 11:00 a.m. for a service of remembrance and worship where we will find hope in the resurrection. Second, join us immediately following chapel for a soup and salad lunch. This will be a simple time of mutual support around the lunch table. Come for one, or both! And know that you are in our prayers.
—Steve Thomason, Dean of the Chapel and Sara Leudtke-Jones, Director of Student Affairs
