For Congregations

Congregational Resources

Saint Paul Lutheran Seminary strives to engage leaders, congregations, families, young adults, and especially our students in sharing the Good News!  We will continue to build upon and make available resource material for our constituency.

CROSS Talk is a weekly online lectionary study led by Dr. James Nestingen.  Dr. Nestingen works through the texts for the coming Sunday, offering insights for Gospel preaching.  CROSS Talk meets live on Tuesdays at 3:00 pm (Central Time).  Recordings of the live sessions are also sent to all participants.
