Thank you to everyone who attended our CCLE XXIV summer conference! Over 50 sessions covered all aspects of classical Lutheran education for teachers, homeschoolers, pastors, administrators, college students, professors, and youth.
Five hundred years ago, in 1524, the first Lutheran hymnal—entitled the Achtliederbuch (book with eight songs)—was published by Martin Luther and Paul Speratus. To commemorate the first Lutheran hymnal, the CCLE XXIV summer conference theme will be: “Cantate: Sing to the Lord a New Song.” Lutherans have always been known as “the Singing Church.” Luther’s liturgical reforms included an emphasis on congregational singing, and Lutheran chorales have become treasures of Western music. Our conference this year will feature daily worship, a hymn sing, an organ recital, and choral performances.
