May has been designated Pastoral Education Month in the LCMS. I am pleased to direct you to a variety of resources linked from this page which are available to assist you in observing Pastoral Education Month. The materials may be utilized at any time during the year. A sermon and adult Bible study have been prepared utilizing Acts 1:12-26. 

These resources are designed to assist pastors and others in Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod congregations (click on links to view resources):

• Identify, inform and encourage prospective seminary students
• Emphasize the pastoral ministry in worship and Bible study 
• Encourage prayer for our seminaries
• Encourage financial support of our seminaries
• Encourage continuing education for our pastors
• Encourage physical, emotional and fiscal health for our pastors

May the Lord of the Church continue to bless you in all things!

Rev. Dr. Glen D. Thomas
