Lutheran Ministerium & Synod (LMS-USA) Annual Conference and Convention - June 20-22, 2003 - Indianapolis

2003 Lutheran Ministerium & Synod (LMS) Annual Conference and Convention - June 20-22, 2003 - Indianapolis

St. Matthew Lutheran Church, Indianapolis, Indiana

---------------------------------------

The Conference
The LMS Annual Conference will be held on the Saturday of Convention weekend and presentations this year will be centered on the theme, "Fear of God". The Catechism's, "We should fear and love God," should make for some interesting presentations. Do "fear" and "love" speak of the same thing, or are they opposite sides of the same coin? And we want to remember, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." (Ps. 111:10)

---------------------------------------

The Convention
Youth and Adults attending the Convention will join with the congregation of St. Matthew for Sunday School at 9:20 a.m., and for Divine Worship at 10:30 a.m. A congregational dinner will follow. The Convention will convene at 1:00 p.m.

---------------------------------------

The Youth Gathering
Youth ages 10 and older are again invited to attend the annual LMS Youth Gathering. The youth program will begin Friday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. To parallel the "fear" theme of the Conference, the Youth will have their own mini-Survival weekend. What are you afraid of? The Youth will face it in our rendition of T.V.'s 'Survivor', 'Worst Case Scenario', and 'Fear Factor' with a twist; we'll also be discussing how the people in the Bible survived wars, famine, plagues, pestilence, and their often tenuous relationship with God. We ask kids to pack like they're going on a Survivor camping trip. Who knows? The gear you take may save your "life" or your team. Please don't pack food because, in the fine tradition of 'Survivor', all food items will be taken away from you. The youth will also be participating in a humorous play about Moses, which will be performed for the entire Conference on Sunday after lunch. Counselors for our excursion are welcome.
