LutherHostel 2013 will be held Oct. 5-8 on the campus of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. LutherHostel is an event designed to provide growth in biblical knowledge and understanding, fun, and fellowship, and a chance to gain helpful insights for daily living. It is offered for adults age 55 and older.

The theme for the event is “Joyfully Aging.” The main presenter will be Dr. Richard Bimler. Bimler’s most recent book, Celebrating God’s Gift of Aging, was published in summer 2012 by Concordia Publishing House.

Scheduled activities for LutherHostel 2013 will feature a reception and dinner with President and Mrs. Dale A. Meyer. Other activities include presentations, class visitation, student-led evening devotions, opportunities for informal interaction with faculty, a private demonstration of the organ in the Chapel of St. Timothy and St. Titus, and a tour of selected St. Louis area sites. An optional tour of Lutheran historical sites in Perry County, Mo., also is available on Oct. 9, immediately following LutherHostel.
