Join us as President Emeritus Dr. Dale A. Meyer gi

Join us as President Emeritus Dr. Dale A. Meyer gives traditional and true Lutheran emphases a fresh look for congregational ministry in today’s changed and challenging culture.

“The church — which we love — hasn’t always done a good job of getting us enthused about the present and, quite frankly, about the future either,” says Meyer. “Let’s learn together — as the church — more about Jesus and, as news broadcaster Paul Harvey used to say, ‘the rest of the story.’”

Concordia Seminary’s 2022 Winter Lay Bible Institute “Strength for Today and Bright Hope for Tomorrow” will be held on our campus Saturday, Feb. 12. Registration is $20 and is open until Jan. 31. Register today! Visit csl.edu/lbi for more information and registration.

It may be -5 degrees in Fargo, but the LCMS North Dakota District convention is well underway and the Seminary is delighted to be in attendance! Dr. Jon Vieker, associate professor of Practical Theology and the dean of Chapel, presented the first part of an essay on "Hymnody" earlier today, and Kathy Luther, executive director of Seminary Support, is ready to answer questions and share Seminary information to all who stop by!

A new Lenten sermon series, “You Meant It for Evil, but God Meant It for Good,” exploring the uniqueness of Luke’s account of Jesus’ suffering, death and resurrection is now available from Concordia Seminary Press, the publishing arm of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis.

The downloadable resource is designed to aid pastors in their preparations for Lenten midweek services. Professor Emeritus Dr. Jeffrey Gibbs authored the materials.

“Dr. Gibbs has a deep firsthand understanding of the preaching role of the parish pastor,” said Melanie Appelbaum, managing editor of Seminary Publications. “He presents it beautifully in the sermons he wrote for our 11th Lenten sermon series.”

While geared for Lenten midweek services, the series also can be used for Sunday worship during Lent.
