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: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:The BIG Week at Camp Restore Detroit
DESCRIPTION:Lutherans! Let’s love on Detroit! \nThe week of June 23-29 is going to be one of the busiest for Camp Restore Detroit (CRD) this summer. The Michigan District is helping recruit hundreds of volunteers to serve in all the areas that are asking for the camp’s assistance. \nAre you interested in a mission trip but do not want to travel far? At CRD\, there are opportunities for all ages to serve in VBS\, one sports camp\, construction\, and urban blight clean-up. You can restore hope in Detroit’s 9th Precinct by serving individually\, as a family\, or as a church group! CRD’s mission is to demonstrate Christian Hope while working together to restore the Detroit Community. Campers have found that joining the CRD community in service is rewarding in many ways. \nCampers can stay overnight in dormitory-like housing or commute. You can work one or more days or all week–whatever works best for you! \nWe still need 35 volunteers for our VBS/Sports Camps! \nVolunteer Today!

SUMMARY:Junior High Youth Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Jesus says\, “and you will know the truth\, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). We live in a world where each individual philosophy is dropping “truth bombs:” from hair to food; from clothing to identity. It is not that young people have no truths—it is that they are faced with thousands of them. All these “truths” compete for their minds\, their bodies\, and even their souls. To further complicate life\, Christianity is often reduced to a list of do’s and don’ts. The Truth that gives freedom—Christ’s work on the Cross and His resurrection for us—is our starting point. This May\, Jr. High students and the adults that care for them will come together in Frankenmuth to receive from Jesus and abide in his Word. Jesus for you! He is the #TRUTH that gives freedom.

SUMMARY:North and East Pastors' Conference 2019
DESCRIPTION:One of the perks of being a pastor is spending time in the Word. Yes\, a lot of it is simply “work.” But can you study a pericope and NOT discover something new? And\, often enough\, an hour or two has suddenly gone by and we get to sit back with a smile and say with King David\, “Your testimonies are my heritage forever\, for they are the joy of my heart” (Psalm 119:111). \nRegister now and plan to join our speaker\, Rev. Dr. John Nordling of Concordia Theological Seminary in Ft. Wayne\, Ind.\, as he explores “The Joy of the Journey.”

SUMMARY:Intentional Interim Conference
DESCRIPTION:“The shape and requirements of transitions today: lead\, follow\, or get out of the way!” \nServing as an IIP today is not like it was five years ago or twenty years ago! The new contexts and post-Christendom culture demand missionary thinking and transitions in ourselves and our people that go beyond a change in pastors. Together we explore and discover the barriers and breakthroughs of God’s moving us to see Him at work anew and join Him in the process.

SUMMARY:West Pastors' Conference 2019
DESCRIPTION:“Hi\, my name is Pastor _______ and I’ve lost my knowledge of Greek and Hebrew.” Given the demands of the ministry\, keeping the use of the original languages intact is a definite challenge. Yet as Luther says\, “Let us zealously hold to the languages … God caused his Scriptures to be set down [in Hebrew and Greek] … We will not long preserve the gospel without the languages. The languages are the sheath in which this sword of the Spirit is contained” (AE 45:359). This conference will provide an opportunity for pastors to get together—not to be berated but to endeavor to revitalize our use of the biblical languages in the ministry. To lead us through this challenge\, Dr. James Voelz and Dr. Paul Raabe will provide us with tips\, tools\, and strategies for reinvigorating and honing this particular task of the exegete and preacher.

SUMMARY:South and East Pastors' Conference 2019
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever felt that it is extremely difficult to motivate people? Have you struggled with discipleship and the third use of the Law in preaching? In this time of apathy in our nation and our world\, we could be tempted to motivate with the Law; yet we know that only the Good News of Jesus and His gift of “lots of grace” motivates. \nPlease join us as we hear from Rev. Dr. Justin P. Rossow and Rev. Dr. David H. Petersen on how to share the message of “lots of grace” to a world and church that needs to hear this Good News. We are praying this conference will leave all of us with an appreciation for how much grace our Lord wants to lavish on us!

SUMMARY:The Katie 2019
DESCRIPTION:The Katie—a Michigan District conference for the wives and widows of pastors\, deacons\, and vicars—seeks to uplift the women God has chosen to be His hands and heart to the men He has called into the ministry. While these women carry a unique set of burdens\, they also enjoy some amazing and abundant blessings. The Katie is a celebration of those blessings and a support for those burdens. \nThe theme for 2019 is “Under the Mighty Hand of God\,” based on 1 Peter 5:6–11. God calls us to humility\, casting of anxiety\, sober-mindedness\, and watchfulness. Alone we cannot do this; all too frequently we find ourselves arrogantly holding onto burdens while numbing ourselves with the idle distractions of the world. In God we are restored\, strengthened\, confirmed\, and established. This year we will take time to further study Jesus as He washes the feet of His disciples; Shadrach\, Meshach\, and Abednego and their experience in the face of opposition; John the Baptist’s ability to remain sober-minded in a tumultuous time; and we will explore what the Apostle John would have us learn about being watchful in regards to the End Times. Our study will seek to see how God has and continues to restore\, strengthen\, confirm\, and establish His people.
