SUMMARY:Dying Well in Christ: A Forum on the Church’s Care at Life’s End
DESCRIPTION:Death and dying are not just the province of medical care\, but the church’s realm. As we approach the threshold of eternity\, when our last hour approaches\, the time for medicine and attempts at bodily cures cease\, and the need for spiritual care becomes primary. For the Christian\, what was begun in Holy Baptism is completed in death as the church sees the saint safely into the arms of Jesus for all eternity. The whole life of a Christian is a preparation for when that time comes. \n“Dying Well in Christ: A Forum on the Church’s Care at Life’s End\,” is a conference for pastors and the people of God who seek to learn more about and help foster a faithful practice of merciful care at life’s end within the body of Christ. \nJoin other faithful Lutherans July 7-9\, 2025\, on the campus of Concordia Seminary in St. Louis\, Missouri. Use this link to learn more and register: https://www.csl.edu/dying-well-forum/. \nThe conference web link is:  Dying Well Forum \nYou can find us on Facebook: Dying Well in Christ: A Forum on the Church’s Care at Life’s End \nConference phone number: 314.413.1055

SUMMARY:Lutherans For Life of Michigan | A Life Summit
DESCRIPTION:The Noble Quest: Defending Life in the Trenches \nSunday\, April 27\, 2025 | 2:00-5:00 p.m. \nSt. Paul Lutheran Church\n329 N Sorrell St.\nFowler\, MI 48835 \nPlease join LFL of Michigan for this event to hear and learn how we can be involved in proclaiming and defending the value of every human life. This is a great event for our congregational Life Teams\, Life Advocates\, pastors\, lay leaders\, as well as anyone who would like to become more prepared to share the For Life message! \nSpeakers: \nPETER SCAER: The Rev. Dr. Peter Scaer joined the faculty of Concordia Theological Seminary\, Fort Wayne (CTSFW)\, in 2000\, bringing a focus to his courses on the Gospels of Luke and Mark\, Jesus’ sacramental ministry\, and the church’s enduring confession in eras of persecution. His academic path included undergraduate studies in classics at Indiana University\, an MDiv from CTSFW in 1992\, and a Notre Dame doctorate centered on the Lukan passion narrative in 2001. Prior to teaching\, he pastored Emanuel Lutheran Church in Arcadia\, Indiana\, from 1996 to 2000\, a period that deepened his commitment to defending vulnerable communities through hands-on ministry. This foundation fueled his long-standing work in life-affirming initiatives\, beginning at Birthright\, advancing to leadership in Right to Life of Northeast Indiana\, and establishing Shepherds United\, where he often highlights interconnected threats like the spread of addictive entertainment in heartland states. Among these\, he’s critiqued Nebraska casino sites for their role in normalizing habits that strain family bonds and local economies. Through his ongoing writings and presentations\, Scaer equips the church to navigate such cultural shifts\, reinforcing its mission with biblical clarity. \nMICHELLE BAUMAN: Michelle Bauman joined the Lutherans For Life team on June 1\, 2019\, and serves as the Director of Y4Life. She communicates with high school and university students about issues surrounding life\, addressing them from a Biblical perspective\, and supports the building and maintaining of Y4Life Teams on high school and college campuses across the nation. She earned her Lutheran Teaching Degree in secondary education from Concordia Nebraska (1998) and a master’s degree in English from the University of Indianapolis (2011). Before joining Lutherans For Life\, Michelle taught middle school English at Holy Cross Lutheran School in Fort Wayne\, Indiana\, (1998-2002) and English\, Drama\, and Speech at Trinity Lutheran High School in Seymour\, Indiana (2002-2019). Michelle also served as the Trinity’s Recruitment Director (2004-2017). She lives in Columbus\, Indiana\, with her husband\, Doug\, who serves as pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church. Together they have two sons and one daughter-in-love. \nPASTOR PAUL CLARK is the Lutherans For Life of Michigan Federation President\, as well as Life Coordinator for the Michigan District. Pastor Clark will be the M.C. of our event\, as well as giving an opening presentation on the theme “The Noble Quest: Defending Life in the Trenches.” \nThis event is free. Light refreshments will be served. \nPlease RSVP (if possible) to Pastor Paul Clark at revpmclark@gmail.com or call or text to 517-420-4826. \nPLEASE NOTE that those who have not registered are still welcome to attend.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Male And Female He Created Them - Creation And Identity
DESCRIPTION:Lutheran Family Service presents a free webinar for student supporters of Lutherans For Life. College and High School can be a confusing and tumultuous time for teens and young adults. One topic that is surrounded by confusion is gender identity. Christians often wonder what is happening in the world\, where did these ideas come from\, and how do I respond in Christian love to those that struggle with their gender identity. Join us for our webinar that focuses on grounding oneself in God’s Word of Creation as we explore how to be a Christian in a gender-confused world. \nRegister Here
