“Messing with the Power of Mammon”
On Friday, January 31 learners from across the South Carolina Synod gathered at Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary (LTSS) in Columbia for the annual Stewardship Symposium.
A New Era for Newberry College Nursing
The program has a good prognosis heading into its second decade
Seminary Spiritual Direction Certificate Program Thriving
Spiritual direction is the practice of listening with another for the movement of the Spirit in their life. A centuries-old Christian tradition, it has largely stayed rooted in the Roman, Eastern, and Anglican community. Somehow, it fell off the Protestant “radar” for far too long.
We are over half way to our goal! Join the effort to launch Latino ministry to new levels in South Carolina. Make your gift today.
And, help us reach the $50,000 challenge if at least half of our congregations participate. Click here for more information about how congregations can share this story with your members.
