SA国际传媒 cordially invites the public to share in the joy of Call Day on Tuesday, April 25. Approximately 159 students who will serve as vicars (a one-year internship) next year will receive their assignments during a 3:00 p.m. worship service. Rev. Arleigh Lutz, president of the North Wisconsin District of The Lutheran Church鈥擬issouri Synod (LCMS), will serve as preacher.

During a 7:00 p.m. worship service, approximately 110 candidates for the pastoral ministry will receive their first calls to serve as pastors, missionaries and chaplains in the LCMS. Both services will be held in the Seminary鈥檚 Chapel of St. Timothy and St. Titus. Rev. William Ameiss, president of the Northern Illinois District of the LCMS, will serve as preacher.

Also on that day, two deaconess students are expected to receive their internship assignments, and there are approximately nine deaconess candidates for placement. This will be the third year that deaconess students from SA国际传媒 receive placement.
