Gather with your colleagues for a time of renewal and fellowship at the Eastern North Dakota Synod Fall Theological Conference at Fair Hills Resort in Detroit Lakes, MN. All rostered ministers are expected to attend this annual event, and lay ministers are welcome to attend (Synod Lay Ministers, youth directors, and other lay ministry professionals).

 

Our guest presenter will be Rev. Dr. Matthew Skinner. Dr. Skinner is Professor of New Testament at Luther Seminary. There will be three presentations by Dr. Skinner, which will focus on the 2024-25 lectionary readings (book of Luke). Dr. Skinner will also lead an optional text study on Tuesday afternoon for all those preaching the following Sunday.

 

There will be a list coming soon of options during free time on Tuesday afternoon that will include a text study, golf outing, wine and cheese social, recreational options at Fair Hills, and some local options.

 

It will be helpful for you to have looked at the draft agenda before you register, so that you know what days/lodging/meals that you will need.
