The 46th Regular District Convention is scheduled for June 22-24, 2022 at Faith Lutheran Middle School and High School in Las Vegas, NV. Our District Convention theme is Abundantly More based on Ephesians 3:21.
Nominations
While the Convention may seem like a long way off, it is time to begin the Nomination and Overture process. All information and forms relating to the Nomination process will be found on the PSD website.
Delegates
Each rostered congregation in the PSD is entitled, and encouraged, to send one eligible Pastor and one Layperson as Voting Delegates. You are also asked to select an Alternate Lay Delegate who would serve in the place of the delegate if, at the time of the Convention, the elected delegate is unable to serve. All Pastors are expected to attend their District Convention, even if they are not a voting Pastoral Delegate. They are considered Advisory Delegates. The deadline to submit delegate credentials is February 18.
Non-rostered congregations may elect a representative to attend the Convention. However, such delegates cannot be given the right to vote if the congregation has not been received as a member of Synod (has a constitution approved by the District Board of Directors) prior to the Convention. If you have any questions as to whether your congregation or pastor is eligible, please contact the District President’s office.
Rostered teachers, DCE’s and other commissioned ministers currently cannot serve as voting lay delegates. They are, however, Advisory Delegates and encouraged to attend. Advisory Delegates provide important perspective and are encouraged to express their opinion by speaking to the convention. In addition, there will be an enhanced role for commissioned ministers during the convention proceedings - more information to come on this.
Watch for more Convention information coming soon!
