We are Going to the Motor City!
We are heading to the Motor City, Dearborn, MI, for our Annual Gathering and Convention from October 6-9, 2013. The event and all of our breakouts will be held at the Adoba Hotel and Convention Center (www.adobadearborn.com). The hotel has more than enough rooms for all who want to attend!The theme for this year’s gathering is: “The Grace of Giving”, as we consider how we might fund the Great Commission in our generation. Our opening preacher for our Sunday evening worship is Pr. Derek Johnson of Community Church of Joy, Glendale, Arizona.
Monday’s Bible study leader is Pastor Sue Gunderson, Immanuel Lutheran Church, Bailey’s Harbor, Wisconsin. Monday’s keynote presentation will be given by Pr. Kyle Idelman, author of the book, “Not a Fan”. Kyle is the teaching pastor at Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky. He is also the author and presenter of the award-winning video and curriculum series, “H2O: A Journey of Faith and the Easter Experience”.
Tuesday’s Bible study leader is Pastor John Lewis of Lutheran Church of the Master, Omaha, Nebraska. Tuesday’s keynote presentation will be given by Chuck Bentley, who is the CEO of Crown Financial Ministries (www.crown.org). Chuck leads this ministry that now reaches around the world with staff on every continent, a media presence throughout North and South America, and books and materials serving the spiritual and financial needs of all people, affluent, middle income, poor and ultra poor.
The Bible study leader for Wednesday morning is Pr. David Gran, St. Luke’s, Garfield, Mn. Our keynote address on Wednesday will be given by Pr. Enrique Estrada, our first international partner and newly elected member of the Board of Trustees.

Mark Vander Tuig doesn’t sit still for very long, needs coffee, loves humor, and is passionate about Jesus. He is a resource to congregational leaders, pastors, and anyone else who calls; hoping to help them to catch the vision of the Great Commission. Growing up, Mark was expelled from his youth group and decided then that there had to be a better way to do “church”. For the future, he would like to see the people of LCMC strengthen the churches we have and plant the ones we don’t.
