STUDENTS
ATTENDING COLLEGE?
Lutheran
Campus Ministry is a Lutheran Ministry on Campus, not just a
ministry to Lutherans. It provides an ELCA presence at more
than 180 state and private colleges and universities, with
cooperating congregations in campus ministry at an additional
400 campuses nationwide. If your
congregation has students going to college this fall, please
refer a student, find
a ministry, or contact campus ministry staff.

Richard Bruesehoff, ELCA Director for
Lifelong Learniing, invites you to consider participating in
the following Seminars:
The Head of Staff Seminar, February
4-7, 2010, has been well received by those newly called
as senior/head of staff pastors. The focus is on the
role that the head of staff plays in visionary leadership of a
congregation and guiding the development of a congregational
staff team. The evaluations from each year suggest that
the content of the seminar, the informal conversations with
colleagues, the worship and the very setting itself are
shaping these head-of-staff pastors for their unique
ministries.
The Ministry Staff
Seminar, January 30-February 2, 2010, is
designed for those who serve in staff settings:
Associates in Ministry, Diaconal Ministers, Assistant and
Associate pastors, music directors, youth and family
ministers, parish nurses, etc. The focus of this event
is to explore the unique challenges and opportunities of
serving on a ministry staff. This is one of the few
places where attention is given to the development of
what might be called "career associates"--those who feel
called to serve as members of a large staff.
The Transition
Seminar, February 2-3, 2010, is offered
between the Head of Staff and Ministry Staff Seminars to those
persons who have recently moved from one ministry setting to
another.
Register on line by visiting the
Leadership Support Events website at www.elca.org/leadership/events/ where you will
find more information about the events and links
to a page for more information, including a detailed
schedule and registration. If you have questions,
contact Richard Bruesehoff.
