Hello Luther Bowl friends! Thank you all for your patience in awaiting updates about Luther Bowl this year. Unfortunately, due to logistics complications, timing, and the ongoing pandemic, we will be postponing the Luther Bowl gathering until Fall of 2023. Please spread the word. I know that this is a disappointing announcement and not the news that we wanted, but we are excited to begin planning ahead to make Luther Bowl's return the best it can possibly be!
Stay tuned for more updates in the upcoming months!
Blessings and Peace+

As the pandemic continues, we have decided that we will not be able to hold Luther Bowl this fall. This may not come as a surprise, but we wanted to make it official. We feel that it is the safest thing right now. We are saddened to have to cancel it this fall, but we are confident this is the best option for all involved. We will continue to think of ways to create a sense community that Luther Bowl provides. We pray that you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy.
