Share These Stories With Your Congregation

We invite you to share these stories of impact in worship, an upcoming adult forum, or your next newsletter! Our congregational promo kit includes a bulletin insert, color and grayscale flyer, presentation slide, and pre-written newsletter copy and banner graphic.

Does your congregation have a story of curiosity, courage, compassion, or collaboration that you'd like to share? Contact Rev. Matthew Short, Assistant to the Bishop for Evangelical Mission, at matt@milwaukeesynod.org.

Funding Our Shared Impact

These stories of impact are only possible through Mission Support, which is the portion of your congregational offerings that help fund the ELCA’s synod and churchwide ministries. We invite congregational leaders to learn more, complete our Mission Support Intent Form, and download worship resources to celebrate your commitment to helping these ministries thrive.
