Companion Synods Sunday

Bulletin Insert for Companion Synods Sunday

Companion Synod Sunday in the Rocky Mountain Synod is the third Sunday in November or whenever it works in your planning schedule.

Things you might do to lift up our Companion Synod relationship with the Mahajanga and Antsiranana Synods of the Malagasy Lutheran Church in Madagascar:

1. Use the following prayer petition or one of your own  in worship:

“Dear God of all, we give thanks to you for our brothers and sisters of the Mahajanga and Antsiranana Synods in Madagascar who walk as companions in faith. As we are inspired to share our gifts with them help us to be mindful of the gifts of hospitality, family, joy in worship and energy for evangelism that they have shared with us. As we walk this road together with our companions in discipleship guide our hearts and our minds ever towards  new life in Christ.”

2. Take a special offering to support Buildings for Betela through the Seeds of Hope Fund of the Rocky Mountain Synod. Currently $26,000 is needed to fully fund the second phase of this housing project. Seeds of Hope information.
   

3. Invite one of the 28 people who went on a Madagascar trip to speak to your congregation.
