  Greetings Everyone! I'm not sure my duties start as of yet as your convention delegate,and thus your "resource person" to communicate resources from Synod, but I'm going to jump right in anyways! I would like to encourage  all of you  to be in church  next Sunday,  April 19th, AND stay for coffee fellowship afterwards. David Friesen,  LCC’s Director of Advancement, will be with us  share the mission and ministry of our church body, both domestically and internationally and talk about exciting plans for the expansion of our domestic missions.
