Mission Link: new quarterly publication for congregations

Mission Link is the first of three new print and electronic publications that the synod office will be releasing in the next year. The purpose of these publications is to enhance the work we do together by telling stories of ministry throughout our synod, and by providing support and resources that we hope will benefit leaders and congregations in our shared witness witness to the Good News of Jesus Christ.

 

Mission Link is a quarterly publication that highlights the ministry programs and resources available to congregations through the Southeastern Iowa Synod Center for Ministry. Mission Link will be made available to congregations in October, January, April and July. Please share this communication piece in your Sunday morning bulletin, monthly newsletter, or on your website. 
 

The Fall 2014 edition of Mission Link. It is available as a full page lay-out and as a half-page lay-out and can be downloaded from the synod website here.
