 Take a healthy step
Last year 67.83% of pastors, spouses, and other ELCA-Primary members in our synod took the Mayo Clinic health assessment. Worth more than $1 million collectively, the health discount is a valuable reward. But the real reward is greater health - among ELCA leaders, congregations, and church budgets. This year, we have only reached 21.68% participation in our synod. Take a step towards better health and take your health assessment before April 30!

Building Men for Christ
Lutheran Men in Mission is hosting a Building Men For Christ workshop on April 2 at St Paul's, Port Jefferson. This workshop was developed by ELCA's national Lutheran Men in Mission and is great way to build up the men's ministry in your congregation. Our local chapter is holding this event in partnership with the Peconic Conference to build the church and its men. This event is made possible in part through a Leadership Development Grant of the Metropolitan New York Synod.
