This is the Presentation Schedule for Pastor/Dean Alexander Scheiermann
of the Middle Volga (Old German Volga) Region of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church - European Russia.  He is responsible for 11 congregations in the
conference/circuit of which he is the head.

The presentation, which includes slides, will be in German with
simultaneous translation by Pastor Horst W. Gutsche who is accompanying
