Sharing God’s Hope and Healing
SUPPORTING COMMUNITIES THROUGH THE CYCLE OF DISASTER

The Bishop’s Fall Convocation is for all rostered leaders. It will be held in Lewiston, ID on October 12-14. This year’s theme is “Baptized in Muddy Water.” Our presenter will be Rev. Leila Ortiz.

We know we are in for a long wildfire season. In consultation with Ray Shjerven, our Washington State VOAD (Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster) liaison, we as a synod staff are lifting up the organizations, who could receive your donations.

Worship, Conversations, Engaging Scripture, Prayer. We are centered on edifying leaders who will share the abundant hospitality and merciful love of the Risen Christ.
November 6-8 in Burley, Idaho at the Convention Center

Our July 2025 Mission Support Memo enlightens us about our ELCA chaplains in specialized ministry and federal chaplaincy across our church who minister to all in all kinds of places. Our ELCA chaplains in specialized ministry and federal chaplaincy serve to support those defending our country, in places outside church walls, tending to people of all needs and backgrounds and showing the gratitude and love of God to all.
