First Call

Grace's First Call initiative seeks to nurture a stronger sense of congregational identity and denominational leadership.

Saturday morning lectures by visiting scholars present opportunities for church staff, congregation members and guests to examine in detail our Lutheran understanding of the Christian faith.

Topics in 2002-2003 have included

• The priesthood of all believers
• Theological method
• Holy Communion
• Theology of the cross
• The Bible

For the schedule of the upcoming lectures, please see the calendar.

The essays presented by these noted scholars will be published, in the hope that this program can serve as a model for other congregations.
