WLS and MLC services to be streamed live
Filed Under: call day, Calls, commencement, concert, MLC, Streams, WLS
For those who can't be there, WELS is providing live streaming of the commencement concerts, graduation services, and call days taking place May 16-23 at Martin Luther College, New Ulm, Minn., and Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, Mequon. The seminary's vicar call service will also be streamed.
This is the third year WELS is live streaming these services. "Our call services have the potential to touch the congregational lives of many synod members, so we thought it would be great if the whole synod could watch," says Martin Spriggs, WELS chief technology officer. "It highlights the important role of our schools and gives congregations an appreciation of the whole assignment process."
For some of the services, a picture directory of the graduates and service folders will be posted online so viewers can follow along. "Over the past two years, many viewers have expressed appreciation that they can 'be there' at least in a virtual way," says Spriggs. "We want the visitor to feel like this is a celebration of God's grace and an opportunity to thank him for it."
All services and concerts will be streamed live on WELS Internet media network, Streams. For specific service times and dates, visit http://streams.wels.net/site/live
