As a Lutheran ministry, we take seriously the idea of the "priesthood of all believers". We are all called to be ministers in some way or another. Do you think of yourself as a minister? How do we fulfill our priestly calling? Across our community, I'm sure the answers vary quite a bit. (Feel free to share your answers with me if you'd like.)
If you feel that part of your priestly calling is to be a leader in this community, just let us know. This ministry exists for you, and we love to have student leadership: planning service projects, game nights, Bible studies, worship gatherings, or whatever you notice we are missing!
Dear Lord, you have given us so many gifts. Help us to listen for how you call us to use them to serve the world around us. In Jesus name we pray, AMEN.

Book club: Are you interested in reading & discussing "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis? If so, please contact us and we'll try to arrange a time that works for everyone who is interested.
Running group: Our bodies are God's wonderful creations -- we should take care of them. If you are interested in being part of a group that will go running once/week (probably on Saturday mornings), let us know and we'll figure out the best time.
"Faith Chat" -- Pastor Darcy Percy will be having a lunchtime faith conversation group in the JC on Wednesdays (lasting approx. 5 weeks). We're taking suggestions for the time, so that those who are interested aren't stuck in class, if possible. Let us know ASAP what works best for you between 10:30am-3:30pm. (Assume it will end up being roughly an hour/week.)
Winner of a Starbucks gift card: Yuri Svjagintsev. Email/call/TXT us within one week to claim your
