Seminaries Sunday 2019
CANADA – Lutheran Church–Canada no longer designates a specific day “Seminaries Sunday”, but encourages her congregations to remember the two seminaries with prayers and offerings.
You may wish to observe it in conjunction with an Education Sunday in the autumn, remembering the opening of our academic year. We encourage you to use the propers appointed for the day, but you may also choose to make use of the seminaries’ joint theme verse: “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, even so I am sending you” (John 20:21).
The seminaries have produced a package of liturgical resource materials for congregations wishing to hold a Seminaries Sunday, including suggested hymns and prayers. You can also download a bulletin insert highlighting the work of the seminaries.
For more information on LCC’s two seminaries, visit their websites: Concordia Lutheran Seminary in Edmonton (http://www.concordiasem.ab.ca) and Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary in St. Catharines, Ontario (https://concordia-seminary.ca).
