As you all know, the 2022 ELCA Churchwide Assembly is currently underway, and 11 of our synod members are present, including Bishop Kevin Strickland and Assistant to the Bishop Jonathan Hemphill.
Please keep our Churchwide body in your prayers as they discern our next most faithful steps as the ELCA, and celebrate the Spirit's work in our expression of the Church.

| Call for Unused Vestments |
Bishop Strickland has requested that anyone who has unused vestments consider setting them aside or sending them to the synod office for use in missional settings, or settings where purchasing new vestments is difficult. Please email Bishop Kevin Strickland for more details (Bishop@elca-ses.org). Thank you!
