Honouring Humann and Grothe at Advent Lessons and Carols 2016

At the reception following this year’s Advent Lessons and Carols service we will recognise Founding Professor Roger Humann’s 80th birthday (18 May) and Emeritus Professor Jon Grothe’s 75th birthday (30 Nov.). Please join us as we host these special guests. In their honour, consider making a donation to the Humann Family Fund or the Grothe Fund in the Concordia Seminary Foundation.

The seminary community warmly invites you to our service of Advent Lessons and Carols. This treasured annual event takes place this year on the Second Sunday in Advent, 4 December 2016, at 3.00pm. Note the earlier time.

The seminary faculty, staff, and students will be joined by Resurrection Lutheran Choir, under the direction of Dianne Humann. As members of the seminary community read lessons from the prophets that prepare for Christ’s coming, the congregation and choirs sing beloved Advent hymns and carols. The service culminates with the announcement of the Christmas Gospel, by which the students anticipate Christmas just before leaving for the holidays. Please join us for this service of Word, music, prayer, and praise.

(The service, unfortunately, will not be live streamed this year.)
