Come join us for the 2012 Celebration of Biblical Preaching, where our theme is "Preaching the Story." Whether we are prepared to admit it or not, many in our congregations do not know the biblical story. Rolf Jacobson, Barbara Lundblad, Michael Curry, Jana Childers and David Bartlett will lead us in exploring how best to preach the old, old story for a new day and age. Plenary presentations, inspiring worship, informative workshops all surrounded by great fellowship will inspire and encourage you for another year of proclamation.
All plenary sessions and chapel services will take place in Luther Seminary's Olson Campus Center at 1490 Fulham St., Saint Paul, Minn.
Registration will open in May.

Year C of the Revised Common Lectionary provides a great opportunity for congregations to swim in the deep theological waters of Luke's Gospel. Spend an afternoon with Prof. Matt Skinner re-acquainting yourself with this Gospel, its portrait of Jesus Christ the spurned prophet, and the wide cast of supporting characters (Elizabeth, Mary, Simeon, Anna, John, the faithful centurion, the widow of Nain, sisters Mary and Martha, and many more).
1:30 - 5 p.m. Held immediately after the Celebration for Biblical Preaching. Register for both events today!
