Reformation of the Multipoint Parish
Doesn't Have to Be Scary!

with Rev. Dr. Alvin Luedke, Professor of Rural Ministry at Luther Seminary 

Eastern and Western North Dakota Synods are excited to sponsor this event focused on rural ministry. Whether you are currently involved in multipoint parish ministry or are wondering about the ins and outs of forming a parish, this workshop is for you!

Rev. Dr. Alvin Luedke, Professor of Rural Ministry at Luther Seminary, has spent most of career looking at parish ministry - from the inside as a parish pastor and from the outside earning his PhD with an emphasis in rural sociology. Dr. Luedke will address the challenges of parish family dynamics, the importance of building community within the parish, characteristics of a healthy parish, and other issues unique to multipoint/rural parish ministry.

Please join us at First Lutheran in Rugby, ND on Saturday, October 31st from 9:30 to 3:30 PM.

We promise not to scare you away!
