It defines who God is and what God gives. The gift is both physi cal and relational. It begins now and shapes a way of life in the world\, and it holds within it Christ’s promise of resurrection. Jesus’ crucif ixion remains the stubborn fact that challenges our understanding of what the message of life means. His death was the outcome of social and politic al forces that culminated in state-sponsored violence. But in putting to d eath the Giver of Life\, the world reveals the depth of its estrangement f rom God. Using different interpretive lenses\, John presses us to see how God\, through the death of Jesus\, does indeed give life. The Gospel takes us beyond popular notions of sin and sacrifice by presenting a more radic al message. Through the crucifixion\, God conveys the fullness of his love for the world in order to evoke the faith that gives life. This cruciform love is militant\, confronting the forces of deception and hate\, and giv ing urgency to contemporary Christian witness that seeks fullness of life for individuals\, communities\, and the world God made.\nLearn more and re gister.\nluthersem.edu/fretheim26 LAST-MODIFIED:20260901T121707Z LOCATION:Luther Seminary\, 1490 Fulham Street\, St. Paul\, 55108 URL:https://parkbugle.org/event/fretheim-lecture-on-biblical-theology-with -craig-koester/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Park Bugle X-SOURCE-URL:https://parkbugle.org/195454/events/st-anthony-park-library-e vents-23 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Blacksmithing Basics 1 with Coal Forge (8-session Series) DTSTART:20260922T230000Z DTEND:20260923T020000Z DTSTAMP:20260902T181931Z UID:28869-1790100000-1790110800@www.dodgenaturecenter.org CATEGORIES:arts,education DESCRIPTION:Join blacksmithing instructors from Chicago Avenue Fire Arts Center for an eight-session dive into the basics of blacksmithing at D odge’s forge at Shepard Farm!

Please reach o ut to our Executive Director\, Kate Tucker. \nIsrael had faced seemingly i nsurmountable external and internal threats in its less than 80 year exist ence. Israelis will vote for the 26th Knesset by October 27\, 2026 after t he tumultuous events of the last 6 years\, including the COVID pandemic\, the attack of October 7\, 2023\, and the seemingly never-ending 7-front wa r of the last almost 3 years. \nPrime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has led one of the longest-serving governments in Israeli history over the last fo ur years. For many Israelis who head to the polls within a few months\, th e one question they face as they enter the polling booth is “To Bibi or Not to Bibi.” In recent years\, Israelis are voting less for political i deologies\, and more for individual leaders. \nOne of the more popular que stions I have faced in teaching about Israel over more than 40 years is “Why is the Israeli system of governance so crazy? It seems like your go vernment barely survives its fragile coalition and you are always on the b rink of heading to new elections. Why does everything feel like such a ‘ balagan’ here?” \nThis four-part series is designed to help understand the nature of Israeli democracy and how the uniquely Israeli political sy stem and elections work. Three sessions will be offered during the campaig n and before the elections\, and the fourth will be shortly after the dust settles and a coalition is made to form a new Israeli government. \n\nSep tember 23: Israeli Democracy 101 – “How a People Without Power Became a Powerful People: Israeli Democracy”\nSeptember 30: Israeli Politics 10 2 – “Continued Challenges to Israeli Democracy” How Israel went from its broadest – yet short-lived – coalition\, to the most right wing g overnment in its history in the 4th and 5th elections over 3 ½ years. Wha t challenges has Israel faced during this topsy-turvy period?\nOctober 7: Israeli Elections 2026 – “Who are the parties and leaders\, and what a re the platforms and issues in this election?”\nOctober 28: What now and where are we heading after the elections?

Plants\, microbes\, and animals together made the gra sslands one of the richest ecosystems on Earth and a massive carbon sink\, but the constant expansion of agriculture threatens what remains. \nWhen European settlers encountered the prairie nearly two hundred years ago\, r ather than a natural wonder\, they saw an alien and forbidding place. But with the steel plow\, artificial drainage\, and fertilizers\, they convert ed the prairie into some of the world’s most productive farmland—a tra nsformation unprecedented in human history. American farmers fed the indus trial revolution and made North America a global breadbasket\, but at a te rrible cost: the forced dislocation of Indigenous peoples\, pollution of g reat rivers\, and catastrophic loss of wildlife. Today\, industrial agricu lture continues its assault on the prairie\, plowing up one million acres of grassland a year. Farmers can protect this extraordinary landscape\, bu t trying new ideas can mean ruin in a business with razor-thin margins\, a nd will require help from Washington\, D.C.\, and from consumers. \nVetera n journalists and Midwesterners Dave Hage and Josephine Marcotty reveal hu manity’s relationship with this incredible land\, offering a deep\, comp assionate analysis of the difficult decisions and opportunities facing agr icultural and Indigenous communities. Sea of Grass is a vivid portrait of a miraculous ecosystem\, making clear why the future of this region is of essential concern far beyond the heartland.

reserve your spot – Co-Sponsored with Land of Lakes Bird Alliance \nStephanie Schubel is the field lead\, lead plover ba nder\, and field team coordinator for the Great Lakes Piping Plover Conser vation Team (affiliated with the University of Minnesota and based out of the University of Michigan Biological Station).   She will be presenting her team’s current work and findings.  \nKey Highlights of Her Work\n\ n\nField Leadership: For around two decades\, she has led hands-on conserv ation efforts for the endangered Great Lakes Piping Plover population\, co ordinating field crews across nesting sites in Michigan and the broader Gr eat Lakes region. \n\n\nBanding & Research: Schubel oversees the banding o f chicks and adults to monitor individual birds\, track survival rates\, t race migration patterns\, and collect genetic data to support recovery eff orts.   \n\n\n\n\n\nConservation Milestones: Her team’s work—combinin g nest monitoring\, public education\, predator management\, and captive r earing—has helped the Great Lakes Piping Plover population rebound from a low of 12 to 17 pairs in the 1980s to a recent record high of over 85 br eeding pairs.    \n\n\n\n\n\nPublic Outreach: A central focus of her out reach is teaching beachgoers how to safely share habitat with these camouf lage-nesting shorebirds (such as maintaining a ~100-foot distance and keep ing dogs leashed).   \n\n\n\nPhoto Credit – Melissa Groo LAST-MODIFIED:20260818T013353Z LOCATION:ZOOM Meeting Online URL:https://saintpaulbirdalliance.org/event/great-lakes-piping-plover-cons
