Our world, our culture, our churches and our lives have changed dramatically in the past months and this change is still unfolding. In these uncertain times, people need to hear the Good News and the peace and comfort that comes from God. As our normal patterns of gathering in worship change, it is important that we focus on how we tell the story of faith and generosity in our congregations.
There are many questions about how to navigate this new environment, and we are pleased to welcome the counsel of GSB Fundraising Consultant Jennie Wolf Smith to our synod. GSB has worked with ELCA congregations and ministries around our region and across the country for years and now is providing resources of how best to respond during this crisis.
