There is still time to make a difference
January 23, 2012
from Bishop Rindy
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
I want to start off the New Year by expressing my gratitude for you, for the partnership we share in the Gospel, and for your prayers. Most everywhere I go, people tell me that they pray for the work of our synod. This is greatly appreciated more than you know. Also, I want to thank you for your continued financial support of all of our shared ministries in a less than ideal year, especially for our farming communities. Continue reading…

How silently, how silently, the wondrous Gift is giv’n

The “stealth God” flies under the radar once more, refusing to powerfully assert Lordship, appearing once again under the form of a servant. In the midst of all that clamors for our attention, Jesus patiently and quietly comes to us in the needs of our neighbors… in our need for the Prince of Peace. Continue reading…

Little Dresses for Africa
November 16, 2011
In the winter of 2011 the Health Ministry Team of Messiah Lutheran (Fargo) organized volunteers (ages 9 to 94) and began making “Pillowcase Dresses and Britches” for the Little Dresses for Africa project. This is a non-denominational organization based in Michigan that provides clothing to children in need. Learn more at littledressesforafrica.org
Messiah’s initial project produced 239 dresses and 51 britches (shorts) for boys. It began with gathering supplies, spending time together (or at home during the winter months), and producing the garments in love. The youth at Messiah tie-dyed donated white pillowcases. This became a multi-generational project for the church. Continue reading…
Gratitude & Mission
November 16, 2011
A Word from Bishop Rindy
Gratitude
We are in a season when we take time to reflect on God’s goodness. There is much to trigger such awareness. As a synod, we just celebrated the ordination of our 14th seminary graduate. Should we be thankful for: The families who served as faith incubators? The congregations who nurtured the faith? The Bible camps, Lutheran colleges, and campus ministries that challenged and strengthened them for growth and service in God’s so loved world? Continue reading…
