This month Atonement will gather on June 9 to discuss the business of our parish at our annual voters meeting. We will elect men and women to important positions of leadership and we will vote on next year’s budget and other issues important to our “walking together” as a local congregation. It is a business meeting that serves the higher purpose of Atonement Lutheran, to carry out the Great Commission (Mt 28:19-20). What a reminder also for us that we are “Baptized for this Moment.”
This July delegates (including your pastor) and visitors from across the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod and from around the world will travel to St. Louis for its 65th Regular Convention. The theme of the Convention is “Baptized for this Moment.” Delegates will gather to elect men and women to fill important positions of leadership and to discuss and vote on issues important to our “walking together” as a Church body. The Convention is very much about taking care of the business of the Church so that she can be well prepared to take care of the Mission of the Church to make disciples of all nations, baptizing and teaching (Mt 28:19-20).
