Gift to Northern Texas-Northern Louisiana Synod

In February, the nation watched as Texas endured cold temperatures and frozen precipitation at levels and for periods of time that have not been seen in years. In addition, the infrastructure intended to provide heat, water, and power failed in many areas. This had dire consequences and cost human lives. It also took a toll on facilities including homes, businesses, and churches.

The Northern Texas-Northern Lousiana (NT-NL) Synod is our synod’s “domestic partner synod.” We are bound in care and prayer for each other, yet the entire territory of NT-NL was affected by the cold temperatures. So when the sale of our synod office building brought in slightly more money than was needed to meet our own budget, the Synod Council acted to pass that blessing along to our partner NT-NL Synod in their time of need.

Bishop Eric Gronberg wrote to share that the money sent from our synod was used to pay the deductibles for congregations and individuals impacted in order to quickly receive help from their insurers. Please continue to keep our partners in Northern Texas-Northern Louisiana in your prayers.
