This year's assembly offering will be collected at assembly worship. Because this is a joint assembly, color-coded envelopes will be made available to identify the two synods. The offering will be shared among the Synod Resource Center, the Malawi Pastors' Academy and the Lutheran Malaria Initiative. Thank you for your generous support of these three important ministries.
