Book Offering for Ethiopian Seminary to Take Place at Annual Gathering
"Ambassadors for Christ" is the theme of our 2012 Annual Gathering, and those attending the event are all invited to take part in becoming just that.The seminary of the Mekane Yesus church in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia is in desperate need of books for their students. To help out, LCMC is welcoming an offering of books from our members at the Annual Gathering to be given to that seminary.
If you have books on any of the topics that pastors, church leaders, and church musicians could use, and you are willing to part with, please bring them along to Denver this October. All kinds of books are welcome: theology, church history, worship, church administration, Lutheran doctrine, Luther’s works, church growth, evangelism, Biblical interpretation, commentaries, and any Biblical resource books, etc.
The offering will take place on Tuesday, October 9, 2012 at 11:30 A.M. during the “International Focus” with Professor Abdi Tadesse from the Mekane Yesus seminary.
We will be taking an offering for shipping costs as well.
This is one of many ways that we can directly partner with the church in Ethiopia.
For additional ideas, Rev. Dr. Gemechis Buba presenting a breakout session on the Ethiopia connection during the Annual Gathering as well.
We hope to see you all there!

LCMC is an association of congregations. We have a great respect for the reality that the church is where the people of God gather together around Word and Sacrament. The local congregation is where the church becomes a concrete reality for God's people.

I retired July 1 from full time pastoral ministry and have many, many boxes of books just sitting in my garage, which I would be glad to give to the seminary. Please contact me about how we could proceed with this. Pastor Mark Rowland, Ridgecrest, CA
