Dear friends,
Now that we have confirmed all our presenters, we
wanted to drop you a note reminding you of the
upcoming ACELC Free Conference on worship, which
will held on April 16-18 in Austin, Texas. Given
the fact that the topic of worship is a constant
subject of discussion (and sadly, sometimes
dissension) in our Synod, we think that this is a
very important Conference you won't want to miss.
The date is drawing very near, so if you're
planning to attend, we would encourage you to
register as soon as possible (all the information
you will need to do this is listed below) and
of course we would also like to make
sure everyone who desires to attend will be able
to do so, as there are always facilities
considerations to take into account when putting on an event such as this one.
So here's the information. We pray you will be able to be with us in Austin!
The Third Annual ACELC "Free Conference" and
Business Meeting will be held April 16, 17 & 18,
2013, at Trinity Lutheran Church, Austin, Texas.
The theme of the Conference is: "Christ For Us :
The Divine Service." Details of the Conference
are listed below. You may register by clicking

CHRIST FOR US: The Divine Service
Hosted by the Association of Confessing
Evangelical Lutheran Congregations (ACELC)
What: This Conference is designed to address
doctrinal and practical issues in the Lutheran
Church Missouri Synod. It is a working
conference that includes both presentations for
doctrinal study and group discussion to engage in
what does this mean in our ministry and
worship. Our "Foundation" speaker (the Rev. Rick
Sawyer of Branson, Mississippi) will lay down the
essential questions in dealing with and
discussing the theology and practice of Lutheran
worship. Our three Core speakers will cover the
spectrum of worship now being conducted in the
LCMS - Contemporary (the Rev. David Langwisch of
Lakewood, Colorado) Traditional (the Rev. Phil
Hale of Lyons, Nebraska), and High Church (the
Rev. Rick Stuckwisch of South Bend, Indiana). And
our "Pinnacle" speaker (the Rev. Bryan
Wolfmueller of Aurora, Colorado) will speak to a
Concordist position on Lutheran Worship. A
series of Table Talk discussions will broaden the
discussion in an effort to identify areas of
agreement, areas of true Christian liberty, and
problem areas for Biblical resolution. It is our
hope to begin a dialog that will result in a
clear confession of Lutheran Worship for today,
and how to do it well and with much clarity and
devotion. The Conference also includes the annual
business meeting of the ACELC congregations.

members of the LCMS. All are invited and encouraged to attend.
