On the Way...

Pastors,
How can we help you begin the process of preparing your congregation for its responsibilities related to synod?

Is your congregation informed about the purpose of synod?

Do they know what is expected of a synod delegate?

Please e-mail us at pec@mcsp.org with your suggestions and questions.

Statistics... Your membership determines your representation.

• Your 2004 Statistics determine your congregation's representation at Synod 2006. You will be asked to elect one delegate for every 125 members or major fraction thereof. [See Book of Order, (p. 96) Rules and Regulations, III Representation at Synod, #1]
• · 2004 Statistics are due January 31,2005.
