A Window into Martin Luther
with Bishop David Zellmer
Thunderstik Lodge, Chamberlain, South Dakota
March 19-20, 2010
program begins at 7:00 p.m. Friday, March 19
This class seeks to:
• Look at the Smalcald Articles to glimpse Martin Luther’s theological framework
• underscore the Lutheran concept of law and gospel
• Create an opportunity for fellowship and learning
The workshop begins on Friday at 7:00 p.m. and concludes at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday. Cost includes a double occupancy room with bathroom, and breakfast and lunch on Saturday.
Cost: $137
Preparation
Participants should read the Smalcald Articles before coming to the retreat. They can be found in the Book of Concord, which you can buy, or you can borrow from your pastor or church library. While the Articles are only around 30 pages, the language of the Articles is not quick reading—give yourself some time to digest them.

You will find more information and a registration form in this downloadable brochure.
