Title:Farewell and Godspeed

As many of you leave the campus of Concordia Theological Seminary after the close of the spring quarter, we wish you farewell and Godspeed.

To those leaving to take your first call, we wish you all God’s blessings as you prepare to serve the flock which God has placed under your care. You have worked hard to learn what you need to know (although you may find out that you don’t yet know it all), and are now ready to step into your vocation as a called and ordained pastor. May the Lord strengthen you in the faith as you do the day-to-day work of the ministry.

To those leaving to serve a vicarage, we wish you a large measure of enjoyment as you continue your education with people at the parish level. May God grant you to learn what you need to know to serve His people better when you receive your first call—or better, may God grant you to learn that you still don’t know everything, so that you will be able to serve His people with a knowledge of your own limitations.

To those returning to homes outside of America, we wish you God’s blessings as you serve Him in your own countries. We look forward to seeing you here again at the seminary (if you come this way) or around God’s throne in heaven.
