We apologize for the inconvenience!
Dear Synod:  

Below are the links to the documents I stated in my weekly pastoral video. Please review them carefully before deciding to return to in-person worship. Stay safe and be well. 

Along with the three listed below, please also view this link, Considerations for Returning to In-person Worship, from Presiding Bishop, Elizabeth Eaton. 
  1. Risks. Know Them. Avoid Them.
  2. Guidelines for in-person church gatherings
  3. Returning to the Sanctuary. Worship Resources.

ELCA Vision
Claimed by God’s grace for the sake of the world, we are a new creation through God’s living word by the power of the Holy Spirit;
Gathered by God’s grace for the sake of the world, we will live among God’s faithful people, hear God’s word and share Christ’s supper;
Sent by God’s grace for the sake of the world, we will proclaim the good news of God in Christ through word and deed, serve all people following the example of our Lord Jesus, and strive for justice and peace in all the world.

ELCA Mission
Marked with the cross of Christ forever, we are claimed, gathered and sent for the sake of the world. This is the mission statement of the ELCA. As members of the ELCA, we believe that we are freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor.
