Before we get to the Annual Meeting at the end of January we're looking for a delegate or two to participate in this year's Synod Assembly. What does this entail? Delegates and pastors from congregations all around our synod gather to discuss the church and various aspects of it. Some of it is business but there's a lot of inspiration and gathering ideas from other folks that you bring back to your local congregation plus you find out about the work of the greater church in which your local community can participate: missionary opportunities, education, and the like.. There are educational opportunities, resources to be perused, and plenty of conversation to be had!
This year's assembly is in Wenatchee, Washington from April 27th-29th. Carpooling is available and the church pays for the assembly and lodging. We can send one or two delegates. Talk to Jennifer Parkins or me if you're interested in this great opportunity! It's a chance to connect our church to the greater world out there which we shouldn't miss.
