An estimated 700 people joined in worship and song as Bishop H. George Anderson, presiding bishop of the ELCA, preached and officiated at the service. Former Lutheran bishops and district presidents and church representatives of several denominations gathered onstage beneath an array of fire-red banners as Tiemann was installed into this ministry of the church. He was elected to a six-year term at the SWT Synod Assembly held on the TLU campus in May of this year. Tiemann will become a familiar face on campus as we move closer to the relocation of the synod offices to campus in the fall of 2001. The concert will feature Dr. Ed Bach and Dr. Randy Kohlenberg, 70G, accompanied by the TLU Symphonic Winds and Concert Band.
Admission is free, and all are invited.
New Christmas Vespers Schedule - Please note that the schedule for this December's Christmas Vespers performances will be different from that of previous years. There will be no Sunday performance this year. Instead, there will be two performances on Saturday rather than just one. Because final exams start on the Monday following the weekend of Christmas Vespers, this new schedule will enable our choir and band students to prepare for their exams on Sunday. All of our founding meetings in September were a tremendous success.
