Synod Assembly
Video Contest

Over the past two years, the Rocky Mountain Synod has produced six "professional" videos that tell stories of faith and people. Now, it's your turn! For the 2012 Synod Assembly, we invite congregations to tell their own stories about the "Landscapes of Faith" in the Rocky Mountain Synod.

More informatio about the contest will be posted soon, including how to submit videos by the March 15 deadline.

please share your impressions of the videos using a brief online survey

Luther says that “Daily Bread” is more thanbread alone. At the 2010 Synod Assembly we gathered stories from congregations and organizations in the Rocky Mountain Synod, which told how we are living out “God’s work, Our hands.” 

A DVD copy of Videos 1-3 was distributed to each congregation at the 2011 Assembly. A DVD of Videos 4-6 will be sent to each congregation in October. Contact the Rocky Mountain Synod office to request a DVD.

VOLUME II

 

Use these videos with the provided Bible studies in all aspect of your church life, such as:

    • Sunday or weekday Bible studies
    • Confirmation classes
    • Youth groups
    • Women’s and men’s groups

Use the videos with the Devotionals when less time is available, such as:

  • Council meetings
  • Worship services
  • Small group ministry teams

 

The videos are produced by retired Pastor Larry Foreman’s Sunmark Productions. He produced the video series in the early days of the ELCA called “Mosaic,” and he brings decades of expertise to this project. We are most privileged that he is available to help us share our stories.

Funding for the six videos was provided by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, by the Macedonia Project of the ELCA, by The Augustana Lutheran Church Foundation, and by congregations in the Rocky Mountain Synod.
