Lutheran Witness: June/July 2008

June is a month of transitions and celebrations. For many young people it marks the end of their high-school or university studies and the transition to that first job in the vocation they have chosen. In June, we also mark Flag Day, Father’s Day (see pp. 3 and 14), and the first day of summer. June also remains a traditional time for weddings. In the Church, we note the Council of Nicaea, the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, the presentation of the Augsburg Confession, and at the end of the month, the festival of St. Peter and St. Paul.
