The Saint Paul Area Synod hosted a Zoom discussion on May 19 with nearly 200 pastors, deacons, council presidents and key leaders participating. The content included our common values as we look to reopening our congregations, factors from public safety, as well as the shared wisdom of congregations in their planning for the weeks and months to come. Speakers included Bishop Patricia Lull, along with pastors and representatives of four synod congregations: Memorial in Afton, Gloria Dei in St. Paul, Fish Lake in Harris and St. Timothy in St. Paul.
