Registration is open for Lutherans For Life’s 25th National Conference, July 6-8 at the Doubletree Hotel and Executive Meeting Center in Omaha, Neb.
“In the Hands of God” is the theme for this year’s conference, which is open to anyone interested in pro-life, pro-family witness based on the Word of God — on which LFL and its annual conference focus.
The theme is taken from Job 12:10: “In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.”
The various registration options — for married couples, individuals, LFL members, nonmembers, students, children, and for partial attendance –- are available at a discounted rate through June 15. A $15 late fee will be added for those who register after that date.
The conference begins July 6 with a 7:30 p.m. keynote address by Dr. Wallace Schulz, and is scheduled to end after a 10:30 a.m. brunch July 8. Also on th
Schulz, “evangelist” for Lutheran Heritage Foundation, will address the topic “By God’s Gift of Faith We Believe … and We Speak for His Unborn.” He lives in St. Louis.
Other plenary presenters are:
- Dr. David Menton, of Ballwin, Mo., a creationist anatomist, speaking on the topic “Chance or Design,”
- Dr. Dean Wenthe, president of Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, who will speak on “The Christology of Life … and the Spirit of Life,” and
- Buddy Davis, a pro-life author, illustrator, and singer/songwriter from Utica, Ohio, who also will perform and speak at a Saturday evening “Family Fiesta” – a first-time conference event.
In addition to joining their parents for Davis’ performances and other plenary sessions, children may attend conference sessions and activities designed especially for them.
A limited number of scholarships to cover conference costs are available for high-school and college students.
Saturday’s on-site workshops explore a variety of life topics, including abortion, end-of life issues, evolutionism, and Biblical manhood and womanhood.
Two field-trip workshops also are scheduled for that day. One is for families who will spend a few hours at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo, vying for prizes in a scavenger hunt to find the most items that pertain to evolutionary thought. The other workshop, titled “Quality Living,” is described as a “small servant event,” where 20 conference volunteers will visit people with disabilities at a rehabilitation facility.
Pre-conference activities are offered for July 6 –- a tour of Omaha with stops at Girls/Boys Town and the Strategic Air Command Museum; and two fundraisers — a mini-golf tournament for men, and a “dress for life” event for women.
