Heartland District is a District of Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC). It is a geographical district, with member churches in Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and South Dakota. As members of the priesthood of all believers, called by the Holy Spirit to confess the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in its purity, we give thanks for God's continual faithfulness. Through the Heartland District, we are uniting to carry out God's mission in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
This year’s annual gathering will be July 14 and 15 at Living Word Lutheran Church in Seward, Nebraska. Our guest presenter will be Pastor Julie Smith, the LCMC Coordinator for Districts and Fellowship Groups.
Julie has been a pastor, a Bible camp director, and co-founder of St. Paul Lutheran Seminary. Julie is an excellent teacher who is passionate about sharing our Lutheran theology and about encouraging pastors and congregations.
Friday afternoon (July 14) will focus on pastors and other congregational leaders. Friday evening will include a meal, fellowship time, and a worship service.
Saturday morning (July 15) will include a presentation and discussion for everyone on the theme of Bread for the Journey. After lunch there will be more time for sharing and a very brief meeting to take care of the business of the Heartland District. We will be on the road by 3:00 p.m.
We encourage you to come and to bring a friend. Be encouraged by your LCMC neighbors. Share what God is doing in your congregation and hear what God is doing throughout LCMC.
Meals are provided for just $20. No preregistration is required.
