Vicarage and Call Services from our LCMS Seminaries – April 28-30

Dear Trinity Family,

Christ is risen! And the joy of His resurrection continues to fill these Easter Days.

Yesterday at worship, I announced that the Seminaries of our LCMS were holding their placement services this week as Vicars and Interns, and soon to be Pastors-elect, will be sent out to either continue their learning “in the field” or to begin their Calls in their first field of service. We pray the Lord’s blessings on them all as they say along with the Prophet Isaiah, “Here am I, send me!”

If you would be interested in viewing these very special services from the Seminary Chapels, here are the links you will need.

Peace and blessings,
+Pastor
