| Reformation Anniversary Celebration Table Talks |
On Tuesday, Oct. 31, faculty, staff, and students will have the chance to share their thoughts and questions during Wartburg’s 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation Celebration Table Talks. The groups will have guided discussion and honest conversation about the college’s mission of faith and learning and the future of Spiritual Life and Campus Ministry. No classes, lessons, practices, or college-sponsored meetings will be held during this time, and all offices or departments that are able to close will to enable students, staff, and faculty to participate. Click here to sign up for the Table Talks. You can reserve a place at the table through Friday, Oct. 20. If you would like to volunteer to be a facilitator or “recorder” for the Table Talks, or if you have questions, speak to Ramona Bouzard or contact SLCM.office@wartburg.edu and include “Table Talk Volunteer” in the subject line.

| Be a Chapel Ambassador |
Would you like to become a more visible faith mentor for students, combat the culture of busyness on campus, and be more intentional about living out our calling as a college of faith and learning? If so, it’s fairly simple to do. Close your office door or tell your supervisor that you want to attend Weekday Chapel. Attend Chapel as often as you are able, and put up a small sign (provided by Spiritual Life and Campus Ministry) that identifies you as a Chapel Ambassador who is open to talking about faith with students, faculty, and staff. Interested? Email slcm.office@wartburg.edu. Questions? Contact Pastor Brian or Pastor Ramona.
