Views from the Rockies
Views from the Rockies is produced and circulated by the Rocky Mountain Synodical Women's Organization (RMSWO), Women of the ELCA, and provides information concerning current programs, projects, and other information.
Views from the Rockies is the best source for information on what is happening among the Women of the ELCA in the Rocky Mountain Synod.
When you need current information on upcoming unit, cluster, and synod events, board members and cluster coordinators, or what is happening at the church-wide level, Views is the place to look.
Here women share their ideas, their thoughts, their concerns, and their joys. The Views from the Rockies seeks to provide the news that all women in the Rocky Mountain Synod need, not just for leaders but also for laywomen.
