LCMS President Election Voter Registration
|
|
|
Each congregation and parish has already received an
LCMS President Election Voter Registration
form with which to register a pastoral and a lay voter for each congregation or parish.
Attendance at the District Convention is no longer required for a pastor or layperson to serve as an LCMS President Election Voter, since the 2016 Synod Convention eliminated that requirement.
Voter registration forms can only be accepted by the Office of the Synod Secretary until Sunday,
March 24, 2019
.
If your congregation has lost its registration form, please contact the
Office of the Synod Secretary
or phone 314-996-1417 as soon as possible to obtain a replacement form.

On Sunday, February 24th, members of Ascension in North Olmsted, OH joined with the youth group and a group of adults from Prince of Peace in Medina, OH to rearrange and reorganize several spaces in Ascension's building so that they can be used effectively. Ascension's pastor, Rev. Joshua Ulm, is a former member of the Prince of Peace youth group. Prince of Peace's hardworking team worked with the members of Ascension to make quick work of three rooms: moving furniture, reorganizing, rearranging, and painting.
