PMM 130   LUTHERAN WORSHIP I
An introduction to the theology and practice of Lutheran liturgy. This course will acquaint the student with the biblical and confessional foundations of the Lutheran liturgy, the structure and components of the Divine Service and the daily office, and provide him with opportunity to develop skills as a servant of the liturgy.

A study of the basic principles of sermon construction and writing. Special attention is given to expository preaching. Four credits. Notes 2 & 6.

PMM 150   FIELD EDUCATION I
Each year summer fieldwork experiences in parishes of the Synod are available through the Director of Field Education. Across-cultural experience may be part of this program as such opportunities develop. Students who have completed Homiletics I and Lutheran Worship are eligible to apply. Notes 2 & 4.

PMM P151   DEACONESS FIELD EDUCATION I
Deaconess students will engage in field education concurrent with seminary studies. During the fall quarter of the first year of studies, each student will be placed in a local congregation under the supervision of the pastor. Depending upon the needs of the congregation, the pastor will assign fieldwork activities with the agreement of the Director. Typical deaconess fieldwork may include shut-in home visits and/or hospital visits, women’s Bible studies and devotions for women’s group activities, facilitating of youth activities and Bible studies, and children’s Sunday school teaching. Verbatim assignments and discussion will be completed and shared during the Field Education hour. Notes 3 & 4.
