VisionPath
>If your ministry did not exist, should it be started?
>What is the most important thing you want the community to know about your ministry?
>What is the greatest opportunity facing your congregation?
>What is the greatest point of connection between you and your community?
St. John High Steeple, Edgar, Wisconsin hosted the VisionPath experience on April 11, 2015. Approximately 25 people attended the Saturday session at this small, rural congregation. VisionPath is a one-time, half day event at your church or school. Your leadership and members will be guided by a trained Lutheran Church Extension Fund (LCEF) facilitator. Your members will focus on the questions above. Contact Dennis for VisionPath or DJ about strategic planning for your ministry.

2015 NWD Convention Workbook
The 2015 NWD Convention Workbook is now available online. Voting Delegates- it will be important for you to familiarize yourself with the various parts of the workbook. It would also be good for you to discuss these items within your congregation(s) so you are prepared to cast your vote on the various offices and overtures being presented. You will probably want to print a copy of the sections requiring a vote for your reference while you are at the Convention. Please note- we will not have the means to provide copies while you are at the Convention. Please also remember to bring (on your person) a copy of the completed "LCMS Official Registration" form signed by two officers from your congregation when you register on June 7th. Only if you present this form at this time, will you be allowed to cast your vote for Synod President in 2016.

Summer
Summer time is the right time to take a breath and check your physical, emotional and spiritual health. Be a bold advocate for taking time away. Prayerfully reflect on your call, your service, re-igniting you passion with the fuel that comes from the God who saved, called and equipped you to be His hands and feet.
