2026-06-01 - 2026-06-05 | St. Paul’s Center, 1500 N 16th Street, Council Bluffs, IA, 51501, United States
St. Paul’s 2026 Camp Creation II is approaching fast. This year’s theme is “Stewardship”. Camp Creation II is focused on action! Campers will learn what God wants His people to do in connection with His creation as stewards. Campers will be thrust into the world of homesteading, at the new “St. Paul’s Center” which provides many unique opportunities for engagement in caretaking and the arts. At the Center, campers will have the opportunity to engage with natural resources in order to build, garden, cook, sew, can, bake and other activities in close proximity to the land.

CTSFW Cont. Ed Class - Faithful Preaching and Faithful Hearing: Homiletics for Pastors and Laity
2026-08-11 - 2026-08-14 | St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, 239 Frank St., Council Bluffs, IA, 51503, United States
Description
Homiletics can often be a one-sided affair. Pastors gather together and study what it means to preach. But pastors who practice preaching without listening to lay hearers are only “preaching to the choir” or “preaching to the pastor,” as the case may be! In order to be most effective in preaching, pastors must be constantly mindful of their audience. In order to be faithful in our hearing, the audience should know something of the goals of preaching. This class will take advantage of the presence of both pastors and laity in order to study the homiletical task together with the goal of becoming better preachers and better hearers. A note to elders: This would be a wonderful class for congregational elders to attend with their pastors that they may all learn together!
