Continuing education is basic for pastors to stay in touch with the public and with their congregations as they go through their ministry. It is easy to get into a routine that can get stale for preaching and ministry if your pastor doesn’t continue to learn about faith, leadership, and ministry. Every year the Bishops of the three synods in Texas plan and participate in a Theological Conference for the continuing education of pastors and lay professionals in the church. I have been working hard as a part of the planning team for this years conference entitled: “La Vida de Fey (The Life of Faith) : A Tapestry of Hispanic Spirituality”. My responsibilities include: worship, logistics, and environment. While my Spanish is a whole lot rusty, I continue to struggle to learn of the ways of faith of the Hispanic people and especially Hispanic Lutherans.
Pastor Fetter and I will be gone for this event from Jan. 25-27th in San Antonio. Laurie Donovan and Philip Drake will be joining us to help with AV and music portions of the conference. Please pray for our continued education and that our ministries will benefit!
