Dear Friends,

As we continue walking together through this season in the life of Memphis Theological Seminary, we want to invite you to join us for an MTS Day of Celebration on Thursday, July 2 — a day to give thanks to God for the countless lives touched through the ministry and mission of this beloved institution.

Our initial plans for the day include:

- Open House: 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
- Worship Service: 11:00 a.m., with Board Chair Kip Rush preaching
- Fellowship Meal Under Tents: 12:00 noon

We hope this day will provide an opportunity to reconnect, share memories, celebrate God’s faithfulness, and honor the many students, faculty, staff, alumni, churches, and friends who have been part of the MTS story through the years.

Additional details will be shared soon, but for now, please mark your calendars and continue to keep our community in your prayers during this important season of transition.

We will explore:
What is trauma?
How does the Bible address trauma?
How might we make our places of worship welcoming to survivors of trauma?
