On Friday, delegates had a full-day’s agenda of business before them, including the election of Synod Bishop. Bishop Elaine Sauer, elected to a four-year term in 2006, was re-elected on the first ballot.
On Saturday, delegates will participate in a day-long renewal event on the topic of the convention theme, "In Mission with Others – Led by God’s Word". Using the vision and mission articulated by the Synod’s council, delegates will be introduced to: new ways of engaging in the Book of Faith initiative and God’s Word, sharing their faith with one another, and being inspired to go out and serve.
