Lutheran Family Service is blessed with an incredible team of experts with wide-ranging skills, passions, and experiences. Since God calls us to share our gifts – especially our spiritual gifts – with others, we are launching a trio of timely and relevant webinars this fall. And, if there is continued interest, perhaps more to follow! These webinars are free and available to anyone in the world.
Here are the webinar details. Register for one, two or all three.
Social media, Facebook, Instagram, gaming, texting, Google-searching, the always-on, always-present screens – they want your eyes and your mind. Does that make you uncomfortable? Are you ready to have an honest, data-driven conversation about screens, how they are affecting you (your children, your community, your church), and what you can do about it? LFS Specialist Rev. Jonathan Conner leads a frank and challenging conversation bringing important new information and God’s wisdom to bear on a subject impacting us all: screens.
For the people of Israel, every 50th year was a Year of Jubilee. Debts were forgiven, land returned, and slaves freed. They were to, “Sound the trumpet and proclaim liberty throughout the land!” (Leviticus 25:9-10). January 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of Roe. It’s now gone! We can have a Jubilee! We have liberty to proclaim, we have opportunity to be and share Jesus. Learn from LFS’ Life Advocate Rev. Dr. Jim Lamb about the opportunities God is giving to affirm His gift of life and new life in Jesus in this Year of Jubilee!
A toddler is accidentally run over and killed by a family member. A respected leader in the community completes suicide. A family loses their only child to a fentanyl overdose. Your members lost loved ones in nursing care centers during COVID pandemic without ever getting to say goodbye and have stopped coming to church. It’s hard to be prepared for these and other tragedies and the complicated and prolonged grief they bring. Learn from LFS’ Thanatologist Dr. Mark Vande Braak what you need to know to help your people – and yourself – during these difficult times.
