For Rostered Leaders from Bishop Burk
 
Dear Friends in Christ,
 
This is the time of year that I begin receiving annual reports from rostered leaders. I actually look forward to their arrival. While the expectation of completing yet another form may seem burdensome to you, I hope you will think about how your reporting benefits me, and by extension, my colleagues who work on your behalf. These annual reports provide one more point of connection, helping me to know what's going on in your life and ministry. Keep reading...


2014 Health Assessment is Open
 
Start 2014 on the right foot by taking the Mayo Clinic Health Assessment! If 65% of ELCA-Primary members take the assessment by April 30, our entire synod will earn a  2% discount on 2014 health contributions. In additions, you will earn $150 in wellness dollars to help offset out-of-pocket care costs. 

Visit the Mayo Clinic Embody Health Portal and complete your confidential health assessment today.

First United Methodist Church, Des Moines.
 
Together, we raise up Jesus' prayer in John 17:21 "that all may be one"!
 

ConFest
 
A high-impact, low-cost, event for junior high youth who are involved in confirmation ministry across the Southeastern Iowa Synod. It will be a day of worship, scripture, and learning around the theme "When Hungry Hearts Find Bread."
