Metropolitan New York Synod: Synod Assembly 2008

Living in God’s Amazing Grace: God’s Work, Our Hands

The Metropolitan New York Synod Assembly will take place Thursday through Saturday, May 15-17, 2008, in Tarrytown, New York. The site will be the Westchester Marriot in Tarrytown. This is a very important Assembly on at least two fronts: we will be electing a new bishop, and memorials (recommendations) may be voted on to advise the 2009 ELCA Churchwide Assembly on issues around ordination of gay and lesbian clergy, and on the blessing of same-sex unions.
This congregation may send two voting members to the 2008 Synod Assembly. If you are interested in serving (it is very important that you are able to be in Tarrytown by 1:00 pm on Thursday, as the first ballot for bishop will take place soon after that) please contact Pr. Parsons or a member of the Church Council.
