REMEMBERING:  A Special Worship Invitation

Come and worship through the lens of Rev. Mary Kay Baum's camera.  As a person who has young on-set Alzheimer's disease, fatigue and over-stimulation are daily parts of her journey, but she finds that walking the land helps her experience God through her surroundings.  Each weekly worship beginning Thursday, February 18th at 12:00 noon at the synod office will be a chance to remember and experience the gifts of Word, Sacrament, Singing, Praying and Fellowship all centered around one of Mary Kay's photographs.  Thursday, February 18th Mary Kay Baum will be at the synod office for a reception and a chance to view some of her works at 1:00 p.m. immediately following the weekly brown bag lunch.  

The South-Central Synod is one of 65 synods in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.  For more information about the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, click on the logo.
