LCSNW Invitation to Annual Lutheran Brunch
A Thank You from Lugala Lutheran Hospital
Lugala Hospital is the only medical facility operating in a large geographic area. They try to address all the medical needs for the area. One thing they have not had is a well-equipped dental office. When asked, they requested $5000 to repair the office and get a dental chair. With the generosity of the people of the Northwest Intermountain Synod, we were able to fill that request and the funds are in transit.

Moving Together: How to Lead Change Without Losing Your People
When change hits your congregation or synod, whether it's a pastoral transition, budget cuts, facility decisions, or shifting community needs, the technical part is rarely the hardest. It's the people part: resistance, conflicts, or members who just disappear. This 75-minute session gives you a practical framework and specific tools to lead through real change while keeping your community engaged and your own leadership grounded.
