Friends of the Seminary Day
 
Please join us Saturday, Oct. 4, in the Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary auditorium for Friends of the Seminary Day, when men and women gather to learn more about the vital mission of the seminary.

Presentations highlight some of the ways faculty and students serve Christ’s church on a wider scale on and off campus. In addition, an offering is gathered to support a project on campus. Since 1973, friends of the seminary have given more than $130,000 towards seminary projects. The day includes coffee fellowship, worship, a light luncheon, and campus tours for those who wish to participate.

While there is no registration fee, your reservation aids us in planning.
