Praying for Seminary Education in LCC

CANADA – Lutheran Church–Canada’s (LCC) two seminaries are providing congregations with new prayers focused on seminary education.

The Boards of Regents of Concordia Lutheran Seminary (CLS – Edmonton) and Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary (CLTS – St. Catharines, Ontario) held joint meetings in January 2024, during which time they decided to produce prayers on seminary education for every Sunday in the church year. The prayers, which will be regularly issued in LCC’s electronic newsletter, InfoDigest, encourage congregations to remember the seminaries in prayer.

A joint meeting of LCC’s President’s Ministry Council and the boards of regents of the two seminaries in 2023 encouraged the church to more diligently keep seminary education in prayer, asking all members of synod to “fervently pray to the Lord of the Church to send workers into the harvest and provide resources to support them.”

While congregations in particular are invited to use the new prayers in worship, individual Christians are also encouraged to remember CLS and CLTS in prayer as well. To sign up for LCC’s weekly InfoDigest, simply click here.
