Bishop Hutterer: Awaiting the Spirit

It has been a while since I wrote about in-person gathering for worship. I was waiting for certainty before I grabbed my pen. I was waiting for clarity from the federal government and the CDC, from health scientists, and from our state health departments and governors. I waited for a common-sense consensus amongst the citizens of our nation. I turned to the books of wisdom in the Old Testament, hoping for a revelation.

I am still waiting.

An easy way to refer new students to campus pastors

With the college year kicking off, now’s the time to refer students from your congregation to campus pastors. Use the student referral tool from ELCA Lutheran Campus Ministry to make sure these students receive a welcome from campus pastors and some help adjusting to their new campus life.

Bishop Hutterer: Lutheran Campus Ministries

Lutheran Campus Ministry, which was a life preserver for me. I saw first-hand how students were hungry for a place to be heard and ask questions about life and faith. I saw students blossom and grow—they are leaders in the church today.
