This Epiphany season, the Central States Synod's Companion Synod Team shares a weekly series of devotions. In this time of long nights, God's love is revealed as a light shines on new possibilities.
The Hymn, Islands and Mountains, comes from the ELCPNG's English Hymnal and was sung at a worship service at Martin Luther Seminary during the synod's Consultation. The hymn is a great reflection of the importance the people in Papua New Guinea attach to their Christian faith. It describes life before they received the Good News, its impact on their country, and their hopes for the future. Please consider using as part of your worship.
What is God calling the CSS to do to further God’s kingdom?
How is God calling the Central States Synod (CSS) to minister in the coming years?
What gifts will our Bishop need to help us fulfill that ministry?
Let’s figure that out together, recognizing that all our work begins and ends in God’s love and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. To guide our prayerful consideration of these questions, we’ll offer a series of monthly devotions beginning April 2024 through the 2025 Synod Assembly. Additional information about how congregations or individuals can respond to these questions will be provided as the process moves forward.
