Keep Your Lay Leaders Informed, Add Them to Our List

Keep Your Lay Leaders Supported, Inspired, & Connected

Dear Ministers,
Coming to mailboxes this February will be the first-ever edition of a new quarterly publication intended to deliver stories for our leaders.

Every rostered minister and congregation will automatically receive a copy, yet this publication may be an encouragement to council members, worship leaders, youth leaders, and staff as well. Help build our lay leader mailing list by either 1) adding the names of those individuals to the form below, or 2) forwarding this email so they may add their own names.

Why Stories for Our Leaders?

The hope is that this publication will offer three benefits to all the leaders who collectively make up this synod:

1) Feel Supported & Confident

  • Examples of Synod Services in Action (Organization, Leadership Formation, Connection, Collaboration, Adjudication)

  • Case Studies of Needs Met by Resources Within This Synod

  • See Where Staff are Visiting & Supporting

2) Find Inspiration

  • Creative Ministries at Work

  • Collaborations Throughout Synod

  • Social Ministry Partners

  • Grant Recipients and Outcomes

3) Connect with Peers

  • Celebrate Ordination Anniversaries

  • Share Ministers’ Lifecycle Changes

Thank You

This publication is an outcome of our synod's mission to serve, connect and equip ELCA congregations in southwestern Pennsylvania to tell the story of Jesus. Healthy & growing leaders are vital for healthy & growing congregations; thank you for taking the time to ensure the widest reach to our leadership for this work.
