Lutheran Evangelism Conference Set for Estherville
A voluntary group of pastors from five Lutheran synods sponsors a mid winter conference in Estherville. The event, first of its kind there, aims to grow into an annual gathering due to central location and strong Lutheran networks. Services begin Sunday at Roosevelt school auditorium with Rev. J M Halvorson preaching and a Wallingford choir. Sessions at city hall Monday through Friday cover meditation, prayer, Bible study, and missions led by Rev Jos Stump and Rev J M Girtz with missionary work in India.
