Help us grow by 70 LutherNoles next year!

2015 was the year that we started the LutherNole Network. Getting
the website launched and identifying recent alumni proved a challenging
task – but we did it! Looking forward into 2016, we are looking to grow
the LutherNole Network by adding 70 newly identified LutherNoles. And we
need your help!

As a LutherNole yourself, you surely know the names and many times contact
information for many other LutherNoles. Think about who was around when
you were around. Who was there listening to Pastor Hingst, or Heintzen, or
Bachman, or Dohrman, or Winters? Do you have a phone number for them? an
email address? a mailing address? even a social media link?

We want to gather information for LutherNoles throughout the country in
order to fulfill our vision of creating a Network of LutherNoles that help
one another as the deployed body of Christ. We want to have information
for LutherNoles that might be in cities that our recent alumni are going
to find themselves in so that we can help their transitions. We want to
have information on what our LutherNoles are doing right now in their
vocations so that we can connect them to current students who may be
looking for a mentor.

There are essentially two kinds of LutherNoles:
1. The person who was a student at FSU and who went to University Lutheran
during their time here.
2. The person who was a student at FSU, who may not have gone to
University Lutheran then, but now is a part of a Lutheran church.

If you know someone like this, please let us know by emailing

I’m A Luthernole!

Are you a Lutheran Alumni of Florida State University? Then the LutherNole network is the family for you. The LutherNole Network seeks to make connections between Lutheran ‘Nole  alumni, and graduating students heading out into the real world. Through this we seek to strengthen the spiritual connections in the Body of Christ of our FSU family.*

*The LutherNole Network will never share your information without your approval and consent.

Welcome!

Welcome! The LutherNole Network is an alumni network for the Lutheran alumni of Florida State University. If that’s you, we’re glad that you’ve found us! The LutherNole network does two things: It connects young graduating LutherNoles with people in the cities and towns that they are moving to, and it connects current Lutheran FSU students to those who are already working in the vocations they are planning on going into. We do all of this because we believe that the connections within the Body of Christ are important.

If you haven’t already identified yourself as a “LutherNole” please do so by using the “I’m a LutherNole” form and send us your information. If you have any other questions, please contact the LutherNole Network Administrator, matt@universitylutheranchurch.org .

God’s richest blessings to you!

in Christ,
Pastor Jay Winters
University Lutheran – Tallahassee FL

What are people doing RIGHT NOW?

Right now Lutheran alumni of Florida State are doing all sorts of  things with the education that they received at Florida State and the  spiritual maturing that they experienced at University Lutheran.  We don't  know what ALL of our alumni are doing but here are some examples:

One alumni is currently writing copy for several magazines and working on a couple of books thatmight be published soon.

We know of at least 4 alumni couples who got married this year, and one  that weknow had a baby.

We also have a bunch of church-working alumni: One who is studying at the  seminary, at least two currently active pastors, two ministers of music,  and one director of Christian education.

Do we know what YOU'RE doing?  If not, please let us know so that we might  be able to connect you to a student who is thinking about going into your  vocation! Please use the use "I'm A LutherNole" form to sign up to be a part of the
LutherNole Network!

Why an alumni association?

There are not many campus ministries that run an alumni association, and those that do will largely run their alumni association simply for the sake of fundraising for their campus ministry – we want the LutherNole Network to be something more. We want it to be a service to our alumni and our current students, and we want it to be a clear picture of what the Body of Christ is like.

We believe that it is important to reflect this concept of “the Body of Christ” that shows up in Paul’s letters like I Corinthians and Colossians. The Body of Christ is the collection of believers who are gathered together by the Holy Spirit and hold faith in Jesus Christ in common. This connection is something that we are purposeful about trying to develop and sustain for students at FSU, but is something that often times is difficult for FSU students to find when they graduate.

It is also important for our students, as they are going through their time here in Tallahassee, to realize that they are “surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses” of people who have gone before them. It is important for them to know that others have gone before them and struggled with the same things that they have: good grades and bad grades, breakups and new relationships, losses and wins at Doak-Campbell, and much much more. It is important also that they realize that our graduates go all over the world and live our their vocations in a way that is pleasing to God.

We really hope that if you haven’t become a part of the LutherNole Network, that you will soon. Please fill out the “I’m A LutherNole” form to be a part of the LutherNole Network!
