Mission Possible!

Our theme verse will be Matthew 19:26 – But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Jesus set us on Mission with the Great Commission (Matthew 28) and charged His disciples to be witnesses (Acts 1:8). Rev. Greg Finke from Dwelling114 will guide us on our very possible mission of keeping the focus of our school ministries on being disciple makers and faithful witnesses! Each participant will receive Finke’s three books via a Kindle link. Once you register, you will receive an email confirmation with your book codes to download.

  • Joining Jesus on His Mission: How to Be an Everyday Missionary
  • Joining Jesus—Show Me How: How to Disciple Everyday Missionaries
  • Joining Jesus as a Family: How to Raise Your Children to Be Followers of Jesus

Other possibilities will be shared! We will also learn about national initiatives from Dr. Al Freeman, our Director of Schools for the LCMS. Al will share about NLSA and other possible missions for our schools. Cheryl Haun will share about the possible ways we can integrate the faith into our school lessons through the new LEA training initiative.

The conference will be held at Carol Joy Holling Conference & Retreat Center. All meeting space will be on the lower level of the Swanson Center, in the Dillon Room. Meals will be served at the Sjogren Center. On Friday, early childhood directors will meet separately, in the Struve Room. See the schedule for details.

Lodging will be reserved at the Swanson Center. There are a limited number of rooms, so standard rooms are double occupancy. Single rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis, with an additional fee of $25. Please mark your preferences on the registration form and pay the corresponding registration fee.

Registration includes the cost of meeting space and materials, lodging on Thursday night, and meals during the conference. Lunch and dinner on Thursday, breakfast on Friday, and access to the 24-hour snack bar with a limited amount of snacks and refreshments are included. The fee also covers professional development throughout the upcoming year.
