On Sunday, February 8 we were joined by Mary Blaufuss, the Vice President for Advancement and Strategic Partnerships at Eden Seminary. She shared her gratitude for the longstanding relationship between St. Lucas UCC and Eden Seminary.
Classes are in full swing for the spring semester aimed at creating leaders worth following. They are participating in a network model of education where they share courses with 5 other seminaries as way of giving student access to even more class options. They have 23 new students beginning this spring, the largest class in recent years.
Every Tuesday evening they host a chapel service that is open to all. This is a space where student and other community members preach and lead worship. At spring convocation this year they will be honoring the legacy of theologian Walter Bruggeman and will host Rev. Wil Gafney as their speaker.
Developing programs for local congregations remains a priority. Eden continues to add learning opportunities for members of local churches, so that they can continue to grow as leaders in their congregations.
Our Adult Ed class has also had the opportunity to learn from Mary these last two weeks. She has participated in the group discussion of her book Joining God in Thin Places: Theologies Active in Natural Disasters. Many thanks to Mary for joining us!
Your giving to the St. Lucas UCC general fund helps us continue to support the important work Eden Seminary is doing in our community.
