The ELCA statement The Use of the Means of Grace describes the theological principles and practical applications of the sacraments in the ELCA\, but the reality is that there are a wide variety of practices across the church. \nJoin us for a conversation about sacramental practice and ways to provide pastoral care that is theologically grounded. \nThis Table Talk will be presented by the Rev. Kevin Strickland\, ELCA Director for Worship\, and the Rev. Martin Seltz\, who served as publisher and principal editor for Evangelical Lutheran Worship.  Pastor Seltz is currently the publisher for worship\, music\, and congregational life at Augsburg Fortress and has guided the development of the “Sundays and Seasons” resources. \nAll participants will receive a copy of the resource The Use of the Means of Grace and supporting resources. \nThe cost to attend is $12 for those who pay now with a credit card\, or you can pay $15 at the door (cash or check). \nFollow Pastor Kevin Strickland at @PastorKevinS.\nFollow @NTNLMission and join the conversation by using hashtag #NTNLTalk! \nTo find out more about the 2015 Table Talk series\, click here. \n\n \n \n Request a Coach\n \n \n Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Congregation*Congregational Leadership Role*\n \n \n Pastor\n \n \n \n Ministry Staff\n \n \n \n Lay Leader\n \n \n \n \n Email*\n \n Phone*Kind(s) of Coaching I am interested in:*\n \n Leadership issue(s)\n \n \n Developing Leaders\n \n \n Staffing issue(s)\n \n \n Congregational Vitality\n \n \n Congregational (re)development\n \n \n Mission Planting\n \n \n Stewardship\n \n \n Discipleship\n \n \n Conflict\n \n \n Transition(s) / Change(s)\n \n \n Other\n Any additional pertinent information:*Please provide any details that would be helpful in selecting a coach appropriate and best suited for you\, including any preferences you may have (i.e.\, gender\, race\, etc.)\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Δ URL:https://www.ntnl.org/event/sept15tabletalk/ CATEGORIES:Y ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.ntnl.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Table-Talk-Means-of-Grace-K-Strickland-e1439232923671.png ORGANIZER;CN="Pastor Jane Mar":MAILTO:jane@ntnl.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
