Southeastern Iowa Synod 2012 Fall Video

A video released by the Office of the Bishop of the Southeastern Iowa Synod is now available online. This 10 minute video presentation carries forward the theme of the 2012 Synod Assembly, "Christ Is With You." It is intended to help renew and sustain connections in Christ throughout this synod and the whole church. Every congregation and ministry partner in the Southeastern Iowa Synod will be receiving a DVD and a letter from Bishop Michael Burk this week. Congregation leaders are invited to share this video with the congregation council, boards, committees, youth groups, at a congregational meeting and in worship. Throughout the video, we are reminded that we are all witnesses to the promise that "Christ is with you."
