Hello Northwestern Ohio Synod!  

As we all know, life often leads us right into challenges and transitions. Toledo is certainly experiencing some transitions these days.  We invite your prayers this coming Sunday, Feb. 15, for those who mourn the death of Toledo Mayor, D. Michael Collins, for the City of Toledo and all who are entrusted with leadership responsibilities at this critical time for Toledo and Northwestern Ohio.  Among those are the appointed Mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson, music minister at Redeemer, Toledo, and Councilman Rob Ludeman, a member of Holy Trinity, Toledo.

Below you will find some amazing opportunities that lead us to discipleship in exciting ways.  Together we DO do mighty things because of God's help and inspiration.  Thank you for your partnership in ministry.
