SUMMARY:2026 Synod Assembly
DESCRIPTION:Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering\, for he who has promised is faithful. And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds\, not neglecting to meet together\, as is the habit of some\, but encouraging one another\, and all the more as you see the Day approaching. (Hebrews 10:23-25)\n \nFear\, scarcity\, and division invade our streets and our world\, threatening violence and leaving many feeling isolated and uncertain. But the church\, set free in Christ for such a time as this\, offers an alternative story and way of being. Grounding ourselves in our faith\, we turn to one another for community\, encouragement\, and holy provocation. At this year’s Synod Assembly\, we will reflect on how to set a course for the church amid troubling times by turning again to our unwavering hope that comes from God’s unwavering faithfulness. \n—– \nLay voting members and rostered leaders are invited to gather as the larger church and worship\, connect\, and vote. \nFriday evening: \n\n5:00 p.m. – Hearings\, orientations\, youth gathering\, optional dinner\n6:00 p.m. – Devotion\, grounding in theme and Scripture\n6:30 – 8:00 p.m. – Plenary 1\n\nSaturday: \n\n9:00 a.m. – Opening worship\n10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. – Plenaries\, lunch\, speakers\n\n  \nMore information coming soon.
