This month we highlight how Mission Support empowers us to be church together, hearing from the Rev. Jonathan Hemphill, assistant to the bishop for congregational life with the Southeastern Synod, on how it allows the goodness of God to flow beyond ourselves, our own congregations, and out into our communities and around the world. We also highlight how to access valuable Stewardship video resources and end sharing how grateful we are the for the ways we stay connected.

We would love to hear about the inspiring stories in your synods, regions and congregations - feel free to reach out to Karen at karen.kretschmann@elca.org.

As always, we are grateful for the work with and among each other that brings such incredible stories. These stories allow us to celebrate the anticipation and wonder of Christ's light more fully. As the Rev. Jonanthan Hemphill said so beautifully, we bring “goodness to others and ... together bring hope, love and justice to the world around us.” We continue to be deeply grateful for your generosity through Mission Support and hope you feel the wonder of all it allows us to do — together.

 Hope, Peace, Joy, Love and Expectation,
