On Thursday, June 6, we will welcome the Blacksburg Ministerial Association for a meeting from 2pm to 4pm.
The Luther Forum, an adult faith formation group, meets Sunday mornings at 8:45 am in the Lutheran Campus Center. The Forum is intended to be a place where adults grow in knowledge and reflect on their own faith journeys. The group uses a common reading as the jumping off point for discussion. The fall focus of the Forum will be Amazing Grace: A Vocabulary of Faith, by Kathleen Norris. Norris is a poet, essayist, and memorist who writes eloquently of her faith journey. She invites her readers to engage with her in reimagining what familiar theological words might mean in a new day. The forum is open to all and persons may also participate via Zoom. Participants are responsible for obtaining the book, but if doing so presents a hardship please contact Bill King. You may also contact him if you have any questions or would like to receive a Zoom invitation.
A new semester has started and with it our weekly Tuesday night dinners for the college students.

Someone will be in the Campus Center at 5:00 to unlock the door and provide any assistance you may need. Please contact Mary Hansbrough at maryhhans@aol.com if you would like to help with this.

We gather in the church Fellowship Hall TV Lounge from 10:00 to 11:00 am on Thursdays. Our procedure is to watch a half-hour video lecture with ensuing discussion. Dr. Mark Berkson of Hamline University (Methodist, St. Paul, MN) provides expert lectures and a study guide concerning “Death, Dying and the Afterlife: Lessons from World Cultures”. What might seem to be a grim topic is treated with appropriate gentle humor and wisdom. Class members are excited about it! The first eight lectures assess key definitions, concepts and values while covering topics ranging from “Death’s Place in Our Lives” to “American Death Rituals.” The next 12 lectures range worldwide from Christianity to Judaism, Islam and other world religions and related cultures. It is an exciting topic dealing with a fundamental reality of life we try to ignore. Join us! Contact Phil Jordan with questions. Final class for the semester is May 23, 2024. Class resumes on September 12, 2024.
