Ten Reasons to Register Now for Novemberfest

You should really come to Novemberfest. Mm, yes, you srealy should. This is your premiere fall event, so register now.

Here are ten reasons you should come.

  1. People are cancelling or limiting conferences all over the place, for a whole host of reasons. Not us! We’re up and running, so you have no excuse if you’re pining away about some cancelled conference.

  2. We don’t require any of the restrictions they’re imposing on people all over the place. We don’t believe in that stuff, and neither should you.

  3. Dr. Koontz is a brilliant speaker and he will most certainly not disappoint you.

  4. Fr. Braaten is also brilliant, and he will not disappoint you either. Honestly, two great speakers in one event!

  5. You’ll have a great opportunity for some marvelous food and drink to go with the stellar conference. Be sure to block Sunday the 14th in you schedule too, the night before the seminar, at Immanuel in Tuscola. And again on Monday night. Outside, under a heated tent! What fun!

  6. You’ll get to rub shoulders with a great gaggle of like-minded people, others in The Gottesdienst Crowd (which you’re already a part of, just for following this blog), and have some quality time, and plenty of laughs to boot, with people who see things just like you do. This is really the main reason some people go to conferences, after all, right?

  7. You’ll participate in dignified Gottesdienst liturgical worship, and hear some great preaching.

  8. Did I mention the a Picnic, Biergarten, and Gemütlichkeit? And pizza?

  9. All this for the low, low registration fee of $50.00. $50.00! Pastors, ask your congregations to pay it, and your lodging expenses too. After all, most of them haven’t been paying pastors’ conference expenses for up to two years. And they know you need this, or at least they should. Pastors need the fellowship of other pastors, and it’s all a benefit to the people they serve. And lay people, you come too! Lay folks who come to these already know what a helpful thing it is to be a part of. Not just pastors. Lay folks too!

  10. The minor inconvenience of traveling and taking care of your lodging will be well worth the effort.

    So there you are. Just do it. Register now.
