Lower Susquehanna Synod Assembly
Here we are at the LSS Assembly at Messiah College. The first (and nominating) ballot for election of a bishop was announced this morning. Guess what? Former Zion pastor, LaDonna Thomas, received a nomination! We've completed the first ballot for elections of synod leadership (Synod Council, synod committees, boards of related institutions) including the election of Synod Treasurer. Synod Vice President, Lucinda Bringman, brought the report of the Year of Re-Formation of the synod. Now, to the budget. Passed with no discussion! Of course there have been cuts to budget lines and to the staff of the synod during this year. As a congregation of the LSS and, therefore, of the ELCA, Zion has been dedicated to providing support to the greater church ministries through our benevolence.
