The Southwestern Texas Synod Assembly meets on Saturday, this year for one day, at Abiding Presence Lutheran Church in San Antonio. Pastors, deacons, and lay voting members gather from ELCA congregations and ministry settings throughout central and south Texas. The Synod Assembly meets for worship, connection, sharing resources, and conducts the organizational business of this area of the church. Individual voting members come together, and with the whole assembly, discern the will of the Spirit. Since the creation of the ELCA, voting members are not representatives or delegates. Each voting member brings their own discipleship and the values of where they come from, and also listens for the movement of God’s Spirit with those gathered. At the FELC annual congregation meeting in January we elected Holden Fuerst and Barbara Schutz. We ask God’s blessing on the assembly.
