Communicating the convention
Filed Under: Convention, CSC, Synod Convention, WELS Connection
Delegates to our recent synod convention have been visiting congregations in their district to share the bold challenge WELS faces as a result of the resolutions passed.
Congregations that have not yet been contacted for a visit are urged to notify their district president to find out which delegate is responsible for sharing convention news with them.
Pastors and other congregational leaders may choose to share convention news to their congregations on their own. WELS Communication Services has provided resources to make that task easier, including a seven-minute DVD that explains the main developments of the convention and what they mean for congregations. It can be viewed on Streams or downloaded. It is also available as the "Congregation Leaders Toolbox" feature on the September/October edition of WELS Connection, which was sent to every congregation. That edition of WELS Connection features a message from Pres. Mark Schroeder.
Printed "talking points" are also available, which give more detail behind some of the key resolutions passed. For more information, visit www.wels.net/jump/convresources.
