In June several Calvary Lutheran Church members participated in the Oregon Synod Assembly. Jim B and Shari Y served as Calvary delegates. Nancy K was a part of the Oregon Synod Mission Interpreters team. Cathie C coordinated the displays. Shari and I got to sing and play with the worship band, and I had the pleasure of writing about the Assembly for the Oregon Synod supplement of The Lutheran, the magazine of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Yes, I enjoy that sort of thing. The Lutheran gave us permission to share these articles. They will give you a sense of what is going on in the wider church, these days. Read them here (PDF file).

I hope that you will also consider subscribing to The Lutheran.

God's Peace,
Pastor Matthew
