SUMMARY:Urban Ministry Conference
DESCRIPTION:“What’s Happening in Urban Ministry in the Michigan District\, LCMS?” \nA wonderful group of Jesus’ followers called ’55 ALIVE’ asked that question about a year ago. In an effort to answer them\, the 2019 Urban Ministry Conference was birthed. On Monday\, September 16\, 2019\, Camp Restore\, Detroit will host this special event. Nearly a dozen Michigan District-sponsored urban ministries will share about their efforts to serve their communities in the name of Jesus through short (10-15 minute) presentations. You are invited to the campus of Mt. Calvary\, Detroit to enjoy lunch and discover what God is doing through His people in Detroit\, Lansing\, Flint\, South Macomb\, and Benton Harbor. You will also learn how you can participate! Doors will open at 11 a.m. and lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m.\, followed by presentations. The program is scheduled to end at 3 p.m. Secure parking is available. \nSpeakers: \nActs 2 Enterprise – Rev. Chris Bodley \nBenton Harbor Lutheran Outreach – Scott Kizer \nCamp Restore Detroit – Rev. John Carrier \nCharity\, Detroit – Rev. Steve Essenburg \nChrist Campus\, Lansing – Rev. David Davis & Rev.

SUMMARY:Intentional Interim Ministry Introduction & Continuing Education
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to IIM Ministry\nThe “Introduction to Intentional Interim Ministry” workshop is designed for those that are considering IIM as a part-time ministry when they retire. Attendance at an introductory workshop\, commitment to this ministry\, and District-sponsored continuing education are required to be recognized as a Michigan District Intentional Interim Minister. \nThere is a $55 fee to attend this conference\, which will include 2 books and a manual. (Lodging will be covered by the district.) \n     Intro to IIM Agenda \nIIM Continuing Education\nWhat do Pastors\, and particularly Intentional Interim Pastors\, have in common with explorers Louis and Clark? If you haven’t read Ted Bolsinger’s book\, Canoeing the Mountains\, you may not have a clue. But one of the keys is a well-defined mission that is “owned by the leader.” And another is the requirement of “self-differentiation” as a leader for any group of explorers. (Ministry in today’s world is definitely “off the map.”) By registering for this Continuing Education conference\, you will receive this important ministry book. You will also receive LCMS Texas District President Mike Newman’s new book\, Gospel DNA. (This too is a great read!) You will be expected to read both volumes before attending the conference. \nThere is NO CHARGE to register. \n     IIM Continuing Education Agenda

SUMMARY:All Pastors' Conference
DESCRIPTION:In a culture of outrage\, it is often difficult to take the time to listen and have healthy conversations. In our congregations\, it can be easier to avoid conversations that are potentially difficult than to minister within the tension and brokenness that our people live in. Come join us as we learn how to engage faithfully and reclaim conversations on sexuality\, race\, gender\, mental health\, and more. \n“My dear brothers and sisters\, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen\, slow to speak and slow to become angry\, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires” (James 1:19–20).

SUMMARY:DCE/DFL Conference 2020
DESCRIPTION:“May the God of peace\, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus\, that great Shepherd of the sheep\, equip you with everything good for doing His will\, and may He work in us what is pleasing to Him\, through Jesus Christ\, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” (Hebrews 12:20–21). \nIf you minister to children or youth\, or their parents\, you are probably experiencing an adventure. Children born after 2000 hold vastly different attitudes and behaviors toward learning and authority than previous generations. Add to that social media\, emotional distress\, relational stress\, short attention span\, fluid personal identity\, connection yet isolation\, and you will see the need for a different map than the one we grew up with and maybe even used in ministry. Please prayerfully consider being a part of this conference as together we study and discuss Tim Elmore’s book\, Marching Off the Map\, and its implications\, insights\, and strategies for ministry. Each participant will receive a copy of the book to aid in the conversation. It will be a blessed retreat as we march together in January. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Theological Conference 2020
DESCRIPTION:Christians in general\, and Christian families in particular\, are under spiritual and cultural attack. The result has been more families being broken and more individuals\, especially the young\, leaving their faith and inevitably our churches. \nThe typical fight-or-flight psychological reactions can readily be seen. Some churches and individuals who sense that their values and beliefs are under attack have embraced the flight response by isolating themselves from the community. Other churches and individuals have chosen the fight response using Scripture and reason to point a loud\, glaring finger at the failings and fallacies of culture and loved ones. \nThe goal of this conference—recognizing and rejoicing in the love of God for the world and the inspired truths of His Word—is to propose and examine a third response reflecting the Apostle Paul’s method of engaging the culture (and our relatives) by “speaking the truth in love.” This also reflects Jesus’ approach to sinners. \nOur prayer—and the goal of this conference—is that we all develop the capacity to engage the culture as we also seek to retain our young people (children and grandchildren) through healthy interactions under the blessing of our Lord. \n  \nConference Documents \nTheological Conference 2020 Booklet \nTheological Conference – Master Presentation File \nRev. Dr. Robert D. Newton – Eternal Word\, Changing Worlds – Full Outline

SUMMARY:Snow Tire Conference 2020
DESCRIPTION:Our 2020 Snow Tire Conference will once again be in Lansing\, but in a new venue: Martin Luther High School. We are confident that our two-day conference will be a time of great learning\, fellowship\, and collaboration among our principals and directors from across the state. \nWe have a full agenda (but still have some fun stuff built-in as well). On Thursday we will open with worship and have time for principals and directors to hear and share about pertinent issues pertaining to their unique roles as school leaders. On Friday\, Adam Russo will hold two engaging sections\, challenging us as educators in the importance and role of failure in a student’s social\, emotional\, and educational development. \nWe look forward to a blessed conference where we can encourage one another and grow as leaders of our Lutheran schools in the Michigan District.
