Assembly Announcements 

Early Bird Registration Ends Tomorrow!
We know many of you are still catching up from Holy Week! So are we! And we want to make sure you get the best rate possible for this Glocal Synod Assembly! So we're extending the early bird for one more week. Please make sure you register yourself and your voting members by Friday, May 16!

 

Registration is not complete unless paid. If you are registered online but owe money you must pay on or before May 16 or registration costs will not be discounted. 

Payment can be made online by credit card and/or by check. If you mail your payment it must be postmarked on/or before May 16, 2014. If  you need assistance in any way or have questions, please contact us! We are here to help! 507-637-3904. Thanks!

Assembly Materials 
The pre-assembly book will be available online for download on May 16. We will begin mailing pre-assembly books to congregations on May 16 to those who purchased the pre-assembly book while registering. Be sure to visit the assembly webpage to get the most up to date information. 
Assembly Offerings 
Your financial offering has been designated to Luther Seminary and The Evangelical Lutheran church in Southern Africa - South Eastern Diocese for education. Congregations are encouraged to contribute $1 per baptized member for this offering. Please send your gifts along with your voting members to the assembly.

If you need to mail a check to the synod office, please note that this offering opportunity will close July 31, 2014, so that the gifts may be disbursed in a timely manner. Your generosity for these ministries is truly appreciated.

Assembly Lay-Led Service

We invite pastors/worship planners to create a worship bulletin using their familiar Service of the Word format in local context along with Bishop Jon's sermon, suggested videos, hymns (others if desired) and prayer of the day.
Please contact the synod office (507-637-3904) to get a DVD copy of these videos.
