Delegates for Mission District and NALC Convocations

Posted February 28, 2019 By admin

This is a very important year in the ministry of the Carolinas Mission District and also the North American Lutheran Church. First, the Carolinas Mission District has grown to sufficient size where it is in our best interest to form four smaller mission districts under one mission region. With the proposed structure, NALC congregations in South Carolina will become one mission district. North Carolina will be divided into three districts. Each new district, with their congregations, will comprise the Carolinas Mission Region. It is important that all congregations within the current Carolinas Mission District be represented during the annual convocation. The CMD Convocation will be held at Advent Lutheran Church in N. Charleston on May 17th-18th.
The annual Lutheran Week and Convocation of the NALC will be held from August 5th-9th in Indianapolis, Indiana. This also is a very important convocation in that the NALC will elect a new Presiding Bishop. Bishop John Bradosky is completing his second term and will not be standing for re-election. Delegates will elect a new bishop from a list of candidates nominated by congregations throughout the NALC.

Those who are interested and able to attend either of the convocations should contact Council President
Danny, Pastor David or a member of the church council.
