As we gear up for the 2024 Grand Canyon Synod Assembly, we invite all our mission and ministry partners to share their inspiring stories. Brian Flatgard, our communications director, is waiting to receive your submissions at bflatgard@gcsynod.org by the deadline on May 17, 2024.

We understand the diversity and richness of experiences within our community, so we are open to various formats of your stories, whether written, photo-based, audio, video, or a combination. However, please ensure your submission is concise, ideally lasting between 2-3 minutes, to accommodate our format.

Our synod is home to numerous impactful narratives, and although our assembly's agenda is packed, we are committed to showcasing around 50 stories through our blog, Facebook page, and weekly newsletter. Additionally, all stories will be compiled on a special assembly page.

This year's theme, “Embody the Word,” encourages you to creatively weave this concept into your story. For tips on creating a compelling video, please visit our video resource page at gcsynod.org/video.

We can’t wait to feature your experiences and insights. Get creative, invite the Holy Spirit into your storytelling process, and most importantly, have fun with it! Remember, the sooner you submit, the better, as it gives us ample time to prepare and highlight your valuable contributions.
