South Saskatchewan church workers meet

REGINA – Twice a year (May and November), the church workers of southern Saskatchewan gather in Regina for a Regional Winkel. On May 20, 16 clergy met at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church for a day of worship, fellowship, and discussion.

Rev. Adrian Kramer (Oxbow) presented a Bible study entitled “Life and Death in a Modern World: A Christian Response to Physician Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia.” Copies of the study are available by requesting a copy from Rev. Kramer (admax71@gmail.com). The study was very informative and generated much discussion. A follow-up discussion will take place at the next meeting on how pastors can respond to members who are considering or have decided to apply for MAID.

Rev. Dr. John Kreutzwieser led a discussion on the LCC Lay Service Guidelines (available for download from LCC’s website). This is an important document for all pastors, elders, and congregational leaders to read and discuss for developing plans for worship services, especially in the absence of a called pastor. The participants encourage the President’s Ministry Council to develop an abstract for simplified information for congregational leaders, and to develop a resource booklet of the suggested services that can be practically used by worship leaders in congregations. 

Rev. John Kreutzwieser
