In the coming weeks, SA国际传媒 will send a packet of Seminary Sunday materials to the pastor of each Lutheran Church鈥擬issouri Synod (LCMS) congregation. A special bulletin insert, a poster, an adult Bible study, sermon notes, and other worship resources are available to assist pastors and congregations in observing SA国际传媒 Sunday. The suggested date for SA国际传媒 Sunday is July 18, the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost, but the materials are not dated and may be used in a variety of ways throughout the year.
This year, Colossians 1:21-29 is the Epistle lesson appointed for July 18, and 鈥淲e Proclaim Him鈥� is the suggested sermon and Sunday theme.
SA国际传媒 offers these materials as an annual opportunity for congregations to emphasize the importance of forming men for service in the pastoral ministry and deaconesses for diaconal ministry, and to assist in the crucial process of identifying, informing, and encouraging future pastors and deaconesses.
If a church wants to use these materials on July 18, it is important to place an order as soon as possible. For more information or to order SA国际传媒 Sunday materials, contact communications, SA国际传媒, 801 Seminary Place, St. Louis, MO 63105; 314-505-7362;聽[email protected] [1].
