Director's Note
Our first Mid-Winter Conference was so successful that we asked the speaker, Graham Cooke, to come back before he had even left the Twin Cities. You may want to get his messages. We've never had so many orders for tapes. We hope to have another Mid-Winter Conference next year. And we'll have another Pastors' Day as a part of it again. 150 were able to join us this time.
We plan to push the ARC out of the harbor at a convention in the Twin Cities June 3 & 4. People have asked us, "What happens to Lutheran Renewal when you establish the ARC (Alliance of Renewal Churches)?" Our answer: it will probably expand as the ARC grows. The ARC is for congregations, not just for pastors. Those churches that want to align with the ARC because they are convinced that a new wineskin will assist them in living out their values and carrying out their vision are invited to team up with us in that new network. Some churches are not ready to make that kind of change, but they still seek the empowering presence of the Spirit. We will continue to connect with congregations regardless of their denominational affiliation. If they demonstrate that they are interested in the life of the Spirit and not simply in a weekend of inspiration, then LR will want to be available to them as it has always been. These are exciting days for Lutheran Renewal and we trust for you as well!
