Greater Milwaukee Synod Assembly Update
This year's Greater Milwaukee Synod Assembly was held May 29-31 at the Country Springs Hotel & Conference Center. The theme of the Assembly was "God's Work, Our Hands." Representing Martin Luther Church this year were Dennis Brylow and Nancy Sack.

There is a full report submitted by Nancy posted on the kiosk in our narthex for those who want to read it. However here are a few highlights:

  • Bishop Paul Stumme-Diers was reelected for a second six-year term.

  • Martin Luther Church members were elected to various positions for the synod: Samantha Hoppe will represent us at the next Churchwide Assembly in Minneapolis, Dennis Brylow is on the Synod Consultation Committee, and Fred Meyer will again be on the Synod Discipline Committee.

  • Key speakers and preachers at the Assembly were Bishop Medardo Gomez, the Rev. Sherman Hicks, and Bishop Paul Stumme-Diers.
