Synod Changes that are Impacting District Congregations

There were a number of changes made at the 2010 Synod convention that are impacting the 2012 Mid-South District Convention and all the congregations of our Synod.

Have you received your updates?

Synod Secretary, Dr. Raymond Hatwig, has sent and will continue to send large postcard type mailings to each congregation with updates on changes and their impact on your congregation. Each congregation should have received six of these by now. If you have missed them or misplaced the information they can be found at this link: http://www.lcms.org/page.aspx?pid=1219

Electronic Votes in 2013

Delegates to the 2012 district conventions will be the people who will electronically cast their congregation’s vote in the 2013 national election for the President of the Synod. However, congregations can only participate in the 2013 vote if their delegates attend and are certified as the official delegate at their 2012 district convention. This means that delegates will have to have access to and some familiarity with a computer and the Internet.
