Breakfast Brunch on June 28!

We WILL be providing a breakfast brunch for Synod Journey participants on Thursday, June 28! The breakfast buffet will include: Cold cereals, yogurt/granola, scrambled eggs, whole and cut fruit, scrambled eggs, sausage/bacon, waffles, juices and coffee.

Groups, band and leaders who are volunteering to help with the Synod Day - have no fear, you will get breakfast too, even though you have to leave earlier than the rest of the group!
Primary Leaders Only!

The Final Mailing contains information on how to access your Congregational Accounts and what to download and print before you depart on June 23. Please keep the login information confidential, as your accounts contain personal information for youth and adults. If you have any questions on how to access your account, please contact Catherine.
Special Skills Form

As we get ready for our servant events in Galveston and other activities, we're wondering what skills our adult leaders have! Can you take one minute to fill out this brief survey? It doesn't commit you to anything - we will follow up as needed! Thank you!

Spring Training for Adult Leaders

We have posted a video of the Spring Training, along with the PowerPoint, handouts and other information that was shared on the Training Events page. If you are a leader that was not able to attend with your group, we HIGHLY encourage you to watch the video!
Keep Checking for Updates on our Facebook Group!

Almost daily now I am posting updates and reminders on our " NE MN Synod Journey 2018 Adult Leaders" group. Be sure to join if you are on Facebook so you get notifications in your newseed, and keep checking it frequently! It is the most timely way to get up to date information!
