News
The synod will host virtual town halls to review and discuss important items that will be presented at the assembly. Town halls are open to all voting members of the assembly and especially recommended for those who will be attending the assembly virtually.
A note about vendor displays: we do not have vendor tables at our one-day synod assemblies (we do not have space in our venue to accommodate). You may submit a PowerPoint slide that could be incorporated into a looping slideshow during breaks.
