We Lift Our Eyes
to see God, our neighbor, and to where God is calling us
THANK YOU TO ALL OUR LEADERS, VOLUNTEERS & ATTENDEES!
  • Our Synod Assembly was held Saturday, May 18, 2024 at Grace Lutheran Church in Des Moines
  • Our theme was from Psalm 121:1-2 | I lift up my eyes to the hills - from where does my help come? My help comes form the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
  • We gathered to worship, hear in person and video reports and synod updates, vote on upcoming budget, and to elect members to synod council, committees and the 2025 ELCA Churchwide Assembly. 
  • THANK YOU to our host congregation, the Assembly Panning Team, and our Fabulous Volunteers!
