Together, the ELCIC and Eastern Synod are launching an appeal to support the
ministries of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land
(ELCJHL). You are invited to be part of this support. Please plan to attend this special service.

On Saturday 18^th October, St. Philip’s is holding a retirement/Celebration of Ministry party for our pastor, Rev. Tuula Van Gaasbeek, who is leaving on 19^th October after 13 years at St. Philip’s.

The Eastern Synod extends an invitation to all who are interested in dreaming together about the future of our churches in the Grand River and Two Rivers Ministry Areas in the Waterloo and Wellington Regions.

You are invited to the Service of Installation for Bishop-elect Larry Kochendorfer on Saturday, September 27 at Faith Lutheran Church in Winnipeg. 

This celebration will bring together both rostered and lay people, and will also be available via livestream at elcic.ca. For those that are able, you are invited to attend in person. For those unable to be with us, you are invited to gather in your homes, congregations and communities to view the livestream (and we encourage you to share a photo of your gathering with us at info@elcic.ca and on social using #myelcic).

The offering for the day is designated to the ELCJHL Appeal and CLWR’s Friends of Creation.

Written greetings to Bishop-elect Larry are also welcome and may be sent directly to lkochendorfer@elcic.ca.

We invite you to take part – whether in person or online, and to share this invitation in your congregation’s bulletin, print it out for your information boards, and help spread the word. 

Greetings from Camp Lutherlyn!  We would like to invite you (and others) to join us for a 60th Anniversary Celebration for Camp Lutherlyn. It will feature a fabulous roast beef dinner with live music by Gate 47 – a renowned Ottawa Valley contemporary christian band and an opportunity beforehand to tour the camp or do crafts or both. 

If you are travelling from afar – a special offer – we’ll open up our wonderful Four Seasons Lodge – at no cost to you – for the first 8 requestors. Contact us at lutherlyncamp.ca@gmail.com>
