Subscription information is at the bottom of this post.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 9, 2011

ST. LOUIS—Next Steps is a new admissions event this year, geared toward prospective students and their families. This two-day event on July 8-9, 2011, will provide an opportunity to connect with the Concordia Seminary community. From visiting the campus to experiencing life with Seminary families, we hope you will find answers to your most nagging questions.

During the Relocation Orientation on Friday afternoon, you will learn a lot of useful information about housing, moving companies, how to find employment, healthcare and childcare information, schools, and much more. Kids will have supervised recreation time during the informational sessions. The Panel Discussion will feature current Seminary families, answering your questions with honest answers as they have been in your position! On Friday night, you are invited to attend an informal BBQ in the Woods (the nickname for married student on-campus housing). BBQ’s in the Woods are held every Friday night in the fall and spring, and that’s just one example of the many activities geared toward Seminary families.

Saturday will include fun events for your whole family. A farewell picnic in Forest Park will conclude the formal events.

There is no registration fee. Housing and meals during the event will be provided by Concordia Seminary. Participants are responsible for their own transportation. Registration deadline is June 24. For more information, please contact the admissions department at 314-505-7227 or email admissions@csl.edu.

Author’s Note

Since it was brought to my attention that it seemed like all my blogs were upbeat and happy. I should explain, that I’m documenting events through my eyes and how they make me feel. I’m not going to sugar coat and try to make it all seem pleasant when in reality it isn’t.  There will be times my writing will depict the pain or struggle I’m currently experience. There will be other times when I’m feeling great and that will come across in my writing.  Those of you who know me at least a little know that’s just how I am. I’ll put on a brave face, but you will know when something is off.

Check the title, it is one seminarians journey through Pastoral Formation.  A journey has twists, turns, ups and downs. So, buckle up as the journey is for sure unique to me.
