Reserve your spot today for the 2016 Grace Gathering

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

We have four fantastic days planned for the 2016 Grace Gathering and hope you will be able to take part.

The Grace Gathering will bring people together from across the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America as the concurrent event to the ELCA Churchwide Assembly.

In addition to experiential learning, worship and presentations from special guests, a unique feature of the Grace Gathering will be the variety of workshops offered to participants to help prepare for the 500th anniversary of the Reformation in 2017.

Workshops will include but are not limited to:

Panel discussions on ecumenical and interreligious relations.
Historical and theological unpacking of key Reformation documents.
Strategic approaches to observing the 500th anniversary locally.
Reflection on the history and continued vitality of the Lutheran witness.

In addition, each participant will receive a complimentary copy of the Reformation 500 Sourcebook: Anniversary Resources for Congregations.

There will be many special guests including Nobel Peace Prize winner Leymah Gbowee, who will deliver a keynote address.

Grace Gathering registrants will also have an exclusive opportunity to participate in online continuing education through Wartburg Seminary in the months following the Gathering.

Reserve your spot today by going to ELCA.org/GraceGathering.
