SLT Special Events and Offers

Monday 5:00-6:45 p.m., Seminary Martin Chapel
Pick up your registration packet; then enjoy light refreshments sponsored by EMU Office of Church Partnerships and the EMU Alumni Office.

7:00 a.m. – Presidents
Pastors registered for SLT are invited to the home of EMU president Loren Swartzendruber and his wife Pat for one complimentary light breakfast on either Tuesday, Jan 21 or Wednesday, Jan 22 from 7-8 a.m. We suggest that persons whose last name begins with A-L attend on Tuesday and those whose last name begins with M-Z attend on Wednesday. This will be a time to meet Loren and Pat as well as connect with other pastors. Preregistration necessary.

Tuesday 12:30-1:30 p.m., Northlawn West Dining Room
In 1920 a defiant John R. Mumaw enrolled at Eastern Mennonite School at his mother’s insistence. Thirty years later the Virginia Mennonite Conference approved him as EMC’s fourth president, then initiated an investigation against him. Nathan Yoder, EMS faculty member, follows the paradoxes of Mumaw’s life as a case study in twentieth-century discernment. Bring your own dining hall meal or bag lunch. Optional event; space limited.

Wednesday 12:30-1:30 p.m., Northlawn West Dining Room
Women who are in or considering ministerial roles are invited to bring their dining hall meals or bag lunches to the West Dining Room in Northlawn. Laura Amstutz, Director of Seminary Admissions, will facilitate a time of networking and encouragement.

EMS is offering keynote speaker Ervin Stutzman’s book – “Discerning God’s Will Together” – at $10, a discount from the retail price of $16.95. If you choose to purchase, please note this on your registration form and a copy will be waiting for you upon arrival.
