CHURCHWIDE ASSEMBLY will be Aug. 8-12th in Columbus, OH. Pastor Jen will be attending as a voting member for our synod. The theme is “Embody the Word”; there have been weekly Bible studies on this theme, using the walk to Emmaus (Luke 24) as the primary scripture pas-sage You can watch the studies, as well as the assembly, live on the ELCA YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/elca). You can find more information at: https://elca.org/cwa-2022 . Even if you don’t watch the whole thing, you are encouraged to check out how we are embodying God’s word in the world through the wider church.
