Collaboration and connection were the focus as the Minnesota South District welcomed staff from the Northern Illinois District for a day of shared learning and conversation.

We give thanks for the partnership we enjoy with fellow LCMS districts and for opportunities like this to learn from one another. Relationships built through these conversations strengthen our collective ministry and remind us that, while our districts may be separated by geography, we are united in purpose as we serve Christ and His Church.

TALKING POINTS WITH PRESIDENT WOODFORD

Faithful in the Means, Trusting the Spirit in the Results: A Pastoral Reflection on the Augsburg Confession, Article V

There is a quiet tension many congregations feel. On the one hand, we confess with confidence that the Holy Spirit “works faith, when and where it pleases God” (Augsburg Confession, Article V).
