Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, cordially invites the public to share in the joy of Call Day on Tuesday, April 27. Students who will serve as vicars (a one-year internship) next year will receive their assignments during a 3:00 p.m. worship service. In addition, one deaconess intern and three Alternate Route vicars will receive their assignments. Rev. David Bueltmann, president of the Central Illinois District, will serve as preacher.
During a 7:00 p.m. worship service, candidates for the pastoral ministry will receive their first calls to serve as pastors, missionaries, and chaplains in The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS). Dr. Glen Thomas, executive director of the LCMS Board for Pastoral Education, will serve as preacher. Both services will be held in the Seminary’s Chapel of St. Timothy and St. Titus.
Also on that day, deaconess candidates, DELTO (Distance Education Leading To Ordination), and EIIT (Ethnic Immigrant Institute of Theology) candidates are expected to receive their calls.
Those unable to attend may listen to the services online via the Seminary’s Web site (www.csl.edu). Both audio and video will be available. For more information, visit the Resources section of the Seminary’s Web site one week prior to the services.
