• Every three years, our synod hosts synod-wide gatherings in lieu of a regular synod assembly
• We will gather for worship, lunch, and forums for learning, conversation, and collaboration
• There are two Saturdays to choose from: May 13 in Mount Vernon OR May 20 in Bellevue
• Each Saturday is nearly identical in offerings - although a few of our forums are only offered on May 20 due to presenter availability (noted on the descriptions document below)
• Each participant will choose three forums to attend from 21 available options
• During the lunch hour there will be additional opportunities to gather with various synod partners and committees
• Our hope is that congregations will identify a Saturday to attend and register/pay for a group of their members to attend
• While it is our preference for congregations to register as a group, you may instead invite your congregation members to register and pay online individually
• While there is no limit on the number of folks from an individual congregation, there is a cap of 300 attendees for each location.
• We encourage you to begin advertising this opportunity ASAP, and be ready to register your group when the online registration opens on April 10.

1. decide which Saturday your congregation will attend
2. edit the handy dandy form for your selected Saturday to include any needed info (to whom to return the form, by when, who is covering the cost, etc.)
3. print/post/email the edited handy dandy form AND the forum description page for your members
4. adapt the info in the publicity resource and begin sharing
