Evening Worship
At 8:30 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays, the Seminary community has the opportunity to come together at the end of the day to pray Evening Prayer (LSB 243) or Compline (LSB 253). These services are held in the north transept of the chapel and are led by students. All are welcome to attend.
Confession and Absolution
Corporate Confession and Absolution is offered Wednesdays at the beginning of each Divine Service. Individual Confession and Absolution (LSB 292) is offered by Chaplain Paul Sieveking during the week. To schedule a time for individual Confession and Absolution, please contact Chaplain Sieveking at sievekingp@csl.edu. “When I urge you to go to confession, I am simply urging you to be a Christian.” (Large Catechism, Brief Exhortation, 32).
Prayer Requests
