Around the Mitten
During Lent of 2026, Pastor Chris Laughlin and Pastor James Smith brought you reflections for the upcoming lectionary texts. Each reflection was offered by a different pastor from our synod; from a pastor closest to you to a pastor farthest from you, we covered this great Mitten synod.
If you were unable to follow along during this busy season of Lent, we encourage you to view these reflections at your leisure.
The Church is bigger than any one congregation, and through this series, we were able to celebrate the faithful work happening across the synod!
