Scripture & Dialogue

Matthew 5:14-16 You are the light of the world.

A city on top of a hill can’t be hidden.

Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket.

Instead, they put it on top of a lampstand, and it shines on all who are in the house.

In the same way, let your light shine before people, so they can see the good things you do and praise your Father who is in heaven.

Psalm 136:1-9, 26 Give thanks to the LORD because he is good.

God’s faithful love lasts forever!

Give thanks to the God of all gods— God’s faithful love lasts forever.

Give thanks to the Lord of all lords— God’s faithful love lasts forever.

Give thanks to the only one who makes great wonders— God’s faithful love lasts forever.

Give thanks to the one who made the skies with skill— God’s faithful love lasts forever.

Give thanks to the one who shaped the earth on the water— God’s faithful love lasts forever.

Give thanks to the one who made the great lights— God’s faithful love lasts forever.

The sun to rule the day— God’s faithful love lasts forever.

The moon and the stars to rule the night— God’s faithful love lasts forever!

Give thanks to the God of heaven— God’s faithful love lasts forever!

Thank You to our Donors!

Luther College gratefully acknowledges the support of our donors – alumni, parents, grandparents, faculty, staff and friends of the College who support our scholarship program. There are over 100 donor-funded scholarships given out each year. These scholarships recognize student achievement in academics, citizenship, leadership, arts and athletics. For the 2020-21 school year, over $82,000 in scholarships will be awarded to students.

Congratulations Graduates!

Luther College has been serving students from around the world for almost 120 years. This history has consistently demonstrated that as unusual and challenging as this year has been due to the COVID pandemic, the College has always persevered, even flourished, through social crises such as the Spanish flu pandemic, the Depression, and world wars. The two sources of this resilience are the faithfulness of God our sustainer and the people of Luther College. The vision and dedication of countless students, parents, educators, employees, and administrators have established and grown Luther’s reputation for providing young people with a “quality education in a Christian context.”

Today we celebrate the Class of 2021’s significant contributions to that excellence and to the lore of the Luther College story. Seeing them proudly graduate this morning and prepare to disperse around the globe reminds us that this school has always been and will continue to be, first and foremost, about the people who live, work, and study in its historic halls. We thank the graduates and their parents for being part of our community of learning, for embracing what was necessary rather than being defeated by what was lost. This truly has been a uniquely memorable year.

Congratulations graduates of 2021!

We wish you God’s blessings in all you do.
