Call Day Is April 22 At Concordia Seminary
Concordia Seminary, St. Louis cordially invites the public to share in the joy of Call Day on Tuesday, April 22. Approximately 117 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. Randall Golter, president of the Rocky Mountain District, will serve as preacher.
During a 7:00 p.m. worship service, approximately 167 candidates for the pastoral ministry will receive their first calls to serve as pastors, missionaries and chaplains in the LCMS. Dr. William Hoesman, chairman of the Council of Presidents and president of the Michigan District, will serve as preacher. Both services will be held in the Seminary’s Chapel of St. Timothy and St. Titus.
Also on that day, seven deaconess students are expected to receive their internship assignments, and there are seven deaconess candidates. This will be the fifth year that deaconess students from Concordia Seminary receive placement.
Those unable to attend may listen to the services via the Seminary’s Web site (www.csl.edu). For more information, visit the Resources section of the Seminary’s Web site one week prior to the services.
