In this issue:
We are excited about life in our congregations and our denomination. Your synod Communications and Technology Team is happy to offer you a few stories to help you celebrate what God is doing with and through us in our Synod. As always we welcome your ideas and comments to inspire future issues. Our next issue will release the end of November and will focus on the Advents themes of hope and expectation. If you have a story to share or would like to submit an article, please contact Eugenia Gamble at [email protected]. If you are a writer in our synod and have a book launch coming up, let us know so that we can promote your work. We are all in this wild wonderful ride of faith together! Thanks in advance.
