And through the end of the year, your gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $30,000 through a generous matching grant. Our gratitude and thanks for the many who have taken advantage of this opportunity since Giving Tuesday to support PSD mission and ministry!

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.

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.

This beautiful Scripture from Ephesians 3 inspired the theme of the PSD and CNH district’s Lutheran Educators Conference (LEC) Nov. 21-23, held in Palm Desert, CA - "Limitless”. Our God is LIMITLESS, and the limitless love and power of God was evident in all aspects of LEC!

As you know, devastating tornadoes struck numerous communities across Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Illinois in the evening and early morning hours of December 10 and 11. The death toll is staggering and continues to rise, while the devastation to property along the 250-mile storm path is unimaginable.

In the wake of such destruction, the need for aid is great. Already, countless calls asking "How can we help?" have flowed into the Mid-South District office. As the bleak aftermath of this disaster unfolds, our first and most significant response is with prayer. We pray for those who are still missing, those who are part of the difficult search effort, and those who are mourning victims of these devastating storms. To assist the thousands of individuals impacted by this terrible tragedy, both LCMS Disaster Response and Lutheran Church Charities are currently mobilizing critical resources.

To assist with the relief effort, the Mid-South District has established a Disaster Relief Fund. Donations directed to this fund will be used for relief efforts in the tornado-ravaged communities. If you or any member of your congregation would like to contribute to this fund, you may make a gift online or by check payable to the Mid-South District Office, 1675 Wynne Road, Cordova, TN 38016. Please note "Disaster Relief Fund" on any gifts sent by check. When donating online, please designate your gift as "restricted" for the Disaster Relief Fund.
