College Planning Made Simple
Sunday, January 21
6:30 pm
Easter Lutheran (Lake Site)
Easter is hosting a special session to help families understand college options, admissions, costs, scholarships, majors, and career paths. The session will feature two Easter experts. Dan Currell was a Senior Advisor at the U.S. Department of Education, is a trustee at Gustavus Adolphus College, and he has written for the New York Times and other major publications about higher education. He will be joined by Ken Harris, a Thrivent Financial Advisor with professional expertise in how families can plan and pay for college. Ken and Dan have personal experience, having navigated the college journey with their own kids. They will discuss how families are planning and paying for college, and they can answer questions about how the system works today and how it is likely to work in the future.
Come with questions - and leave with a plan!

Led by Pastor Kevin and Shari Couch, explore what it means “to welcome one another just as Christ has welcomed you.” Have you ever filled out a survey for a restaurant or store? We have some intuition about what good service and bad service feels like. In his compelling book, Stranger God, Richard Beck helps us live into the Biblical invitation to “welcome the stranger among us.” Modeled after Martin Luther’s own practice of faith conversation around a table, this season of Table Talks will explore Biblical hospitality.
Participants will purchase the book Stranger God.

Richard Beck’s Stranger God reminds us that welcoming the stranger means loving the person right in front of us. In this study of 1 Corinthians 13, we’ll explore how love shows up in real words and actions—equipping us to embrace not only the strangers among us but God who meets us through them.
