Sent Conference

     I'm supposed to plug this event because I'm speaking at it.  So here it is.  I'm not the New York Times best selling author.  I'm not the speaker of the Lutheran Hour.  Scroll to the far bottom of the page.  Literally, the bottom of the page.  

    Seriously, I am excited to be invited.  Our congregation is chewing on two words - Loved and Sent.    The word mission comes from the Latin missio - "to send."  The term "apostle" means "sent one."  The inference is that a "sent one" is sent with the authority of the sender.  So this is our task as a people of God.  We can't remain static.  We're sent.
