I invite you to read the letter (included in this newsletter) that Bishop Usgaard sent out to the synod regarding same-sex marriage. If you have questions or concerns, or would simply like to have some conversation about this topic, please do not hesitate to contact me. I continue to be in prayer around this topic and how we move forward together. I invite you to do the same. With love and gratitude for the ministry you do each day,
