The SWD's spring gathering at Cedar Valley was so well attended that the senior gathering committee decided to offer it again in a new venue with a “Fall Gathering in Reedsburg” at the Voyageur Inn Oct. 4, 2010. The theme is the same, "God’s Gifted Seniors—Yesterday and Today."
At the spring gathering a capacity crowd enjoyed hearing Rev. Mark Jeske of Time of Grace ministry share his insights about what’s happening with Lutherans today. He will do this again in Reedsburg after the morning devotional Bible study with Rev. Mark Meier of Emmaus, Poy Sippi. After lunch, Rev. Ron Riemer will coax you into filling in the blank space in his "God’s __?__ servants" presentation. Some good Lutheran-style singing (that would make Garrison Keillor smile) will be a prelude to Jeske’s afternoon chat about God’s gifted seniors.
Registration for this event is $50 for the day that will begin at 9:30 a.m. and close at 4 p.m. Breaks and lunch are included. If you have questions, please call Peg Raabe at the District office, (414) 464-8101. Mail-in and online registration will be available soon at swd.lcms.org/registration. The deadline is Sept. 22, 2010.
Fall colors will be at their peak in early October, so you might like to enjoy the whole weekend, or at least Sunday, in Reedsburg. Golfers checking in at the Voyageur Inn enjoy a special $38 rate for 18 holes and a cart at the lovely Reedsburg Country Club. Quilters alert! The Quintessential Quilts store is within walking distance. Or take a tour of the Wollersheim Winery which is 40 minutes away.
You can take advantage of the Voyageur’s special weekend rate of $59 per night (double or single occupancy) offered to fall gathering participants. Please make your own reservations by calling the Voyageur at (800) 444-4493 and mention that you will be attending the South Wisconsin District fall gathering on Oct. 4. More information about area attractions in and around Reedsburg can be found atvoyageurinn.net.
Jeske and the DP graduated about the same time from the Sausage Factory, Mequon. What were they teaching then?
