The Outreach Board of the Southwestern Washington Synod is sponsoring a three-part "Renewing Congregations Series" for congregations interested in renewing the commitment to ministry. Part 1, "Renewing the Faithful" presented by the Revs. Samuel Torvend, Valinda Morse and Melanie Wallschlaeger, is under way now. Upcoming Part 1 venues include Nov. 6 at Trinity Lutheran Church of Parkland, Nov. 13 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church of Bremerton, and Nov. 20 at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church of Port Angeles. Part 2 will focus on "Renewing Congregations" and Part 3 will look at "Renewing Service in the World." All are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. To learn more, contact Morse or Wallschlaeger at the synod office, (253) 535-8300 or swwsynod@plu.edu.
