Warm welcomes
Bishop Rimbo and the synod staff appreciate the welcome hospitality provided by our local congregations and partner organizations as we visit and help proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ and share the mission of our ministries each week. In the past two weeks, our staff was warmly received by the following communities: St. Paul's, Manhattan (EKD); Saint Peter's, Manhattan; St. John's, Lynbrook; Resurrection, St. Albans; and St. Paul's, Rye Brook. Thank you!
