The material to the right was made available to the participants attending
the Summit.
This is not an exhaustive list by any means. It is just a place to
start looking for opportunities to become involved in the mission of the
church.
It
is exciting to read what the Spirit of God is doing in other parts of the
Area, State, and World.
Many of these sites offer email updates and mission servant event options.
You will have to sign up for new letter by email.
In
addition, you can read about
volunteer opportunities at the LCMS site.
As
you explore these, pray for the Lord's guidance, asking Him to lead you in
ways that would serve Him and His church.
