The ELCA and LGBT Inclusivity

Augsburg Alumna and English Major Kari Aanestad wrote "Listen to Their Hope: Hear Their Faith" for the Joint Synod Committee for Inclusivity. The Inclusivity Committee "offers this booklet to all members and clergy of the ELCA. The stories presented in this booklet represent the faith journeys of lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgendered (LGBT) folk, their parents, and non-gay persons, all of whom are members of the two Twin Cities synods that our committee serves. They represent a much larger collection of narratives that one can find in every congregation, many of which have never been told."

The Committee's web site further notes, "these stories portray the joy, the pain, the struggle of loving, committed individuals who love their church, but do not always feel welcomed or affirmed in who they are. We believe that God loves every person and that each person bears the image of God. Their stories are signs that the Spirit has been working in our midst, often undetected."

Here's a link to the booklet: http://www.msp-synod-inclusivity.org/id1.html .

New - Direct Deposit for Student Workers

Human Resources will be offering direct deposit for on-campus student workers beginning this summer, with the June 15th paycheck. Students may sign up for direct deposit by completing a Direct Deposit Authorization form, attaching a voided check, and bringing it to the Human Resources department. This form is located in Human Resources on the public drive under Payroll/Forms, or at the following link:

O:\Human Resources\public\Forms\Direct Deposit Enrollment.xls

DIRECT DEPOSIT FORMS ARE DUE BY THE 5TH OF THE MONTH FOR DIRECT DEPOSIT TO BEGIN THAT MONTH.

Direct Deposit stubs will still be sent to the Enrollment Center to be picked up on the 15th of each month. You must pick up your own direct deposit slip as there is important information noted on it. If you do not pick it up, you may be unable to retrieve copies of them from Human Resources in the future.

Once you sign up for direct deposit, it will continue until you cancel or change it. You may cancel or change it at any time by coming to the Human Resources department. If you change or close accounts, register the change with Human Resources ASAP to avoid interruption of your direct deposit.
