5/6 — Classes Out! Have a Restful Summer! — 5/6

Summer has arrived (at least according to the academic calendar, if not the actual weather) and so Luther Center activities go on hiatus along with much of the USD student body.

We may still get together for some fun over the summer, though, so keep an eye out here and at the facebook page for summer activities as well as information about LC life next fall.

Until then, have a great summer and my God go with you!

4/14 — This Week at the Luther Center — 4/22

WORSHIP:  Wednesday at 8pm  We are coming down to our last several Wednesdays of worship.  If you need some time to gather in peace, enjoy a free meal, and get some respite from a hectic end to the semester, we would love to see you on Wednesday.

FISHING PICNIC:  Sunday (4/21), 3pm to 5:30pm   The Luther Center will be having an end-of-the-year picnic and fishing party over in Yankton.  We’ll grill out, play lawn games, and for those who are interested, we’ll do a little fishing from the shore.

Doc Freese will supply rods, reels, and fishing lessons for anyone who is interested in trying their luck. (A one-day fishing license can be purchased at several places in Vermillion, including HyVee and WalMart)

We’ll carpool from the Luther Center that afternoon and spend some time relaxing and enjoying what I’m sure will be a gorgeous day!

SERVE AT THE WELCOME TABLE:  Monday (4/22) 5pm to 7:30pm  The Luther Center will be serving the meal at the Welcome Table at First United Methodist Church here in Vermillion.  Please join us to help serve and eat!

NOON PRAYER IN THE MANNER OF TAIZE:  Monday – Friday, 12pm at Danforth Chapel

Every weekday at Noon, join other students, faculty, and staff in USD’s Danforth Chapel for a 20min prayer service in the manner of Taize.  It is a powerful way to re-center in the midst of busy days, and a great way to begin preparing for Taize at Pine Ridge in May!

STOP-N-STUDY:  Sunday through Thursday, 6 – 10pm,  come hang out and study at the Luther Center.  There are always snacks in the cupboard and the fridge.  Plus we have free printing and WiFi!

HOPE TO SEE YOU SOMETIME THIS WEEK!
