Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, cordially invites the public to share in the joy of Call Day on Wednesday, May 4, 2011. 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. Russell L. Sommerfeld, president of the Nebraska District, will serve as preacher.

During a 7:00 p.m. worship service, candidates for the pastoral ministry will receive their first calls to serve as pastors, missionaries, and chaplains in The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS).
