In November of 2022, the synod held a series of six meetings (five at locations across the synod and one online), where Bishop Larry invited lay and rostered members to meet with him for dinner. At each meeting, Bishop Larry brought greetings form the synod, gave an update on what is happening in the synod, and presented a vision for the future of the synod. Along with the Bishop’s presentation, several videos and a powerpoint were shared by Kathryn Smith, a representative from ELFEC (a Lutheran foundation which was established in the Eastern Synod) illustrating models of Planned Giving.
A recorded version of the presentations is available for viewing here.
