For those interested in small-town and rural ministry, there is an opportunity to attend the 44th Annual Rural Ministry Conference at Wartburg Seminary, scheduled from March 9-11, 2025. This event, held in Dubuque, Iowa, and online will explore the theme of “Form Follows Mission: Creative Ways STaR Congregations are Adapting for the Sake of Vitality and Sustainability in Mission and Ministry.” Pastor Nancy Nyland and others will guide us through large group presentations. There are multiple workshops. Thanks to donor generosity, most of the expenses for this experience will be covered for up to three students. Please express your interest promptly to secure your place by emailing Jon Anderson, Rural Ministry Director, janderson008@luthersem.edu. Pr. Anderson will be attending as well.
