The 2008 Synod Assembly will remind us of the many ways we have
been readied for this life of discipleship. Nurtured by parents and
family, coaxed by mentors and friends, schooled by pastors and teachers,
stirred by retreats and reflections, supported by community and
companions – in all these ways and more we are formed in body, mind and
spirit for living the DiscipleLife. Children’s ministry, confirmation
ministry, youth ministry, young adult ministry, campus ministry, men’s
ministry, and women’s ministry are keys to walking alongside people
wherever they are on their life’s journey. Strengthening these vital
congregational ministries is essential to our task of “growing disciples
of Jesus.” The assembly will help us focus on the ways we are
Formed for DiscipleLife and will challenge us to be involved in the spiritual
formation of people of all ages.
With all of this in mind the Synod Council has formally requested that
each congregation, in sending voting members to this next assembly,
insure at least one voting member is between the ages of 18 and 30.
