Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary, St. Catharines

On Tuesday, 27 October 2020, the CLTS Board of Regents interviewed candidates for the seminary faculty. After prayer and extensive deliberation they resolved to extend divine calls to Dr Thomas Korcok and Rev. Stephen Preus. The faculty has been operating with a vacancy in the area of dogmatics since Rev. Esko Murto accepted a call back to Finland in 2019.

At Thanksgiving we not only give thanks to God for the blessings of our country and its rich harvest, but we remember His grace shown to us in Jesus Christ, our Saviour. That message is the focus of the Holy Ministry that Jesus instituted to preach the Gospel to all the world. This Thanksgiving please remember the needs of the seminary, which is dedicated to preparing men for Christ's ministry. [ 109 more words ] http://concordia-seminary.ca//thanks-giving-for-pastoral-/

For more than a decade CLTS, St. Catharines (lately in co-operation with CLS, Edmonton), has provided all LCC congregations with a wall calendar primarily meant for use by altar guilds. The calendar contained the liturgical festivals of the three-year and one-year lectionary series, together with their parament/vestment colours and space to write notes. As of last year, we are providing this in electronic form only, in order to save costs on printing and mailing. [ 139 more words ] http://concordia-seminary.ca//10/08/liturgical-calendar-2/
