Fall Quest Course: What is unique about being Lutheran? How does Lutheranism contribute to the greater Church? Why is Lutheran identity important today? This fall’s Quest course at Concordia Lutheran Seminary explores “Lutheran Distinctives.” It is taught by Academic Dean, Dr. StephenChambers. All four evening sessions focus on Lutheran theological tradition that gives us a very special, irreplaceable role within the body of Christ.

Tuesday 8 October: “The Theology of the Cross: How God both hides himself and reveals himself.”
Tuesday 15 October: “Two Kinds of Righteousness: Discerning God’s work and our work in our lives.”
Tuesday 22 October: “Two Kingdoms: How God works in both the church and the world.”
Tuesday 29 October: “Together Under the Cross: How we live in the means of grace.”

Quest runs from 7:00-9:00 PM MDT. Quest classes are free, at the seminary or online at https://youtu.be/4MlQJsYMtXI. Groups can use the seminary’s online platform.

Parking Stalls in back alley
Please leave the 2 parking stalls open, labelled Secretary & Pastor, on Sunday mornings, as it gives some of our less mobile parishioners easier access to the building. Thank you for your consideration and respect in this matter.

Please note that Riverbend Lutheran Church is trying to be a scent free environment.  Please keep this in mind as you prepare for worship on Sundays. Thank you.
