Seminaries Sunday 2016

CANADA – While Lutheran Church–Canada no longer designates a specific day as Seminaries Sunday, it encourages its congregations to remember Concordia Lutheran Seminary (CLS – Edmonton) and Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary (CLTS – St. Catharines, Ontario) with prayers and offerings.

You may wish to observe it in conjunction with an Education Sunday in the autumn, remembering the opening of the seminaries’ academic year. Congregations are encouraged to use the propers appointed for the day, but also may choose to make use of the seminaries’ joint theme verse for this year: “Christ, who is God over all, be blessed forever. Amen” (Romans 9:5).

CLS and CLTS have prepared a resource package for congregations wishing to remember the seminaries during Sunday worship. The materials include an insert highlighting the current blessings and challenges for the seminaries, hymn options, and suggested prayers.
