Redeemer is pleased to announce “Redeemer Conference 2016”.

On the Monday of the CTSFW Symposia series (January 18, 2016), friends and colleagues gather at Redeemer Lutheran Church for worship, theology, and comradery.

We have had about 80 people the last couple years.

Registration is free and informal! If you want to drop us a note that you’re coming, great! If you want to play it by ear and show up if whim strikes and weather allows, fabulous! The only expense we ask you to cover is a $5 free-will donation for a scrumptious lunch prepared by the Rag’n Cajun, John Maxwell.

We are pleased to announce that the Rev. Dr. Karl Fabrizious will be our Session leader. He will speak on the topic: “Early Church martyrdom: how it can inform us how to endure suffering today”.

In the afternoon, Rev. Charles McClean will present on the ceremony of Solemn Vespers. He is the author of the book The Conduct of the Service.

Here is the schedule this year:
