SUMMARY:2024 Synod Assembly
DESCRIPTION:Jesus names us “the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world\,” and compares the kingdom of heaven or reign of God to “leaven” (Matthew 5:13–16; 13:33). \nAt the 2024 Synod Assembly\, the North/West Lower Michigan Synod will celebrate ways our congregations are ”salt of the earth\,” “light of the world\,” and “leaven” of the kingdom in ways large and small as we prayerfully participate in Jesus’s own work of reconciling the world to God’s very self. \nThe 2024 Synod Assembly will be held virtually via Zoom on May 11\, 2024. \nLearn More.
