Our Ministry Together is a series of short videos intended to highlight and celebrate areas of our common mission across the Eastern Synod, many of which are funded through congregational benevolence.
In today's video we spend time with Bishop Michael Pryse, Rev. Dr. Kristine Lund, and Luther students who lift up and celebrate the important relationship that exists between the Eastern Synod and Martin Luther University College.
We encourage you to share these videos on social media and during mediated worship. All videos will be featured on our YouTube channel, and alternatively can be downloaded through the Eastern Synod Worship Resource Library on BOX.
For more information about the Our Ministry Together project, or to submit photos that highlight our Eastern Synod ministries for upcoming videos, please contact Rev. Adam Snook (asnook@elcic.ca).
Thank you for your gifts of prayer and financial support!
This is, indeed, Our Ministry Together!
